Alas, despite all of that, he’s still able to compete in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. This weekend, in fact, he’ll take part in one of the most anticipated fights of UFC 314. He will take on Jean Silva in a contest that has been full of bad blood from both Silva and Mitchell.

Recently, Silva implied that he was going to beat Mitchell so badly that he would be left with brain damage that would force him to retire. In response, Bryce had a pretty amusing comeback.

 

Mitchell responds

Reporter: “Bryce, yesterday at media day, Jean Silva said you might have to retire this weekend due to brain damage you’ll take in this fight. Curious if you have a response for those remarks?”

Mitchell: “I was born with brain damage, brother. I’ll be alright.”

For Bryce Mitchell, this fight is about proving that he still belongs at the elite level. He’s had to go through his fair share of adversity in the cage in some of his recent defeats, but many believe he’s still talented enough to put together a title run. As for Silva, he’s ready to try and ascend to new heights himself.
