Overall, there were three twister attempts, two arm-triangles, and a Von Flue Choke. With 13 minutes and 15 seconds of ground control (Unofficially), Mitchell won the bout via a unanimous decision (30-25, 30-25, 30-24). He has now improved his undefeated streak to 13-0.

“Before the fight, Charles talked a lot of s***,” Mitchell told Joe Rogan in the Octagon. “We weren’t happy with each other. But right after the fight, he says, ‘Hey man, you’re championship material.’ “

“He thanked me, and I got nothing but respect for him – 99 percent of people would’ve tapped to that s***. Right now I’ve got nothing bad to say. I was pissed at him at first, but we shook it off. I ain’t going nowhere,” Mitchell added.

“I just think that I proved that I got world-class teammates and coaches. I’ve been saying that for years, what they’re telling me to do and what I am doing is world-class s***.

“I’ve always believed that and I guess people are starting to believe that themselves now but even when nobody did believe. I don’t give a damn. I’ll go out there and fight anyway.” Bryce Mitchell said during the post-fight scrum.
