We all know Mitchell is a pretty controversial figure. He says and does things that, in any other profession, would probably lead to him being fired. In the UFC, though, Dana White actively campaigns for free speech among his fighters. Therefore, it probably doesn’t matter too much what ‘Thug Nasty’ comes out with. As long as he keeps winning, the UFC are likely to continue keeping him on the books.

Recently, bookmakers have suggested that Jean Silva is the favorite to come out with the win against Bryce Mitchell. As you can imagine, Bryce wasn’t too pleased with that.

Mitchell tells everyone to bet on him

“I believe so,” Mitchell told reporters when asked if he was being unfairly discounted. “But I think this is a great time for all my friends to bet and make a tremendous amount of money off me. So, go ahead and bet the farm; these are the best odds I’ve had in a long time. If you’re a betting man, cast your bet.”
