Top 15-ranked UFC featherweight Bryce Mitchell finally returns to action this weekend. The most outspoken 145-pound standout meets Kron Gracie on the UFC 310 main card. However, Mitchell is fresh off a brain-scrambler knockout loss from last December that almost stalled his track.
“Thug Nasty” suffered a super scary loss against Josh Emmett at UFC 296. Mitchell was even taken to a local hospital immediately for a precautionary CT scan of his head and face. Nevertheless, ahead of UFC 310 media day though, the staunch believer reiterated how said beliefs helped him reel through it.
You know, I wasn’t really well prepared for that fight – and, at first it [the knockout] did get me down, like man, how am I gonna come back from that…I read the bible…there’s this book in the Bible called ‘The Book of Job’…and that really helped me right there.

Mitchell has long mentioned veering to faith (and weirdly to conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson) for that. Job is a book in the Ketuvim (“Writings”) section of the Hebrew Bible. It is the first of the poetic books in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. It tells the story of a man who begets all the good he is owed due to pure resolute belief.
Mitchell, too, believes he’ll get his redemption the same way. Case in point – he reveals moving out of his trailer soon after. Now, he is holding on to those beliefs going into the weekend at UFC 310: Pantoja vs. Asakura, Las Vegas, Nevada. That doesn’t mean it diminishes his quirky side though.
Bryce Mitchell vs. Kron Gracie ‘Flattest Mother F-ker Belt’ now on the line at UFC 310
Go figure, but never go around, because the Earth is “flat.” The stakes are raised for the UFC 310 pay-per-view main card. When Bryce Mitchell takes on Kron Gracie, worlds will collide. No, literally. The rest of the world would have to see two prime flat-earthers go at it on the PPV main card spot. That too, to decide who among them is the biggest, meanest flat-earther.
Mitchell himself has had a lot of quirk up his sleeve – 9/11, slow-hunting a deer, wrestling a gorilla (no, not Darren Till). Even recently, he went scorched flat-earth on Tesla CEO Elon Musk for brain control schemes. This was in light of Neuralink – Musk’s brain-computer interface (BCI) startup that will subject people to mind control, per Mitchell.
Now, Mitchell pitches in the idea that this is not just a regular fight. He and Kron Gracie, another self-proclaimed flat-earther, will fight for a very prestigious spot. “The Flattest Mother F—ker Belt” (FMF).
I think [on Saturday], the Flat Earth champ will be crowned, …That’s one thing [Kron and I] can agree on, ain’t it.

It would be very on-brand for a gimmick belt to be on the line for the wrong theory. It’s a war where even veteran podcaster Joe Rogan “sissied” out against ‘Thug’ Earther. Still, as random as this fight is, it will be fun, especially with Gracie vowing to have a better fight than his last outing at UFC 288. The fate of the very flat world only amps that up.
