Bryce Mitchell is one of the most promising fighters in the UFC’s Featherweight division right now. The American mixed martial artist stands 11th in the UFC featherweight rankings, as of 7th March 2022. However, his rank is likely to go up after his dominant win over Edson Barboza at UFC 272, last weekend.
Mitchell is undefeated throughout his MMA career and is one of the best wrestlers at 145 pounds. After his smashing win at UFC 272, many fans are dubbing Bryce Mitchell as ‘Country Khabib.’ In an interview after his victory, ‘Thug Nasty’ reacted to his comparison to the newly inducted Hall of Famer, Khabib Nurmagomedov.

He said,
” I think it would be quite an honor (being compared to Khabib). I think Khabib would love it on my farm… We can wrestle goats and cows and sh*t!”Just like the Dagestani fighter, Mitchell is also undefeated inside the octagon. His dominant wrestling skills are also comparable to The Eagle’s in his earlier days.
‘Thug Nasty’ is turning into an absolute fan favorite as the days go by. His extremely thoughtful initiative of donating half of his fight purse to charity was widely appreciated and applauded by numerous fight fans.
