Bryce Mitchell said demons had taken up his dreams ahead of meeting the man of his nightmares at UFC 314 PPV. That would be a fighter walking the walk by the name of Jean Silva. The Brazilian rising star recently asked for this particular matchup and got it. The ‘said exorcism’ now goes down at Kaseya Center in Miami on April 12th.

The anti-semitic trait-dousing and Holy Bible-arousing fighter recently ran into some hot waters for his quirky takes. Bryce Mitchell has always been a few inches north of weird but his pro-Hitler sentiments have caused even his biggest fans to reel back. Hence, surging and popular fighter Jean Silva barked the divinity out of him during the UFC 314 PPV kickoff pressers on March 7 in Las Vegas.

Good morning, y’all, …I need all my Christian warriors to pray for me that I will have peaceful sleep. Every single night since the day before the press conference, I’ve had demonic dreams. Legions of demons are attacking me every single time I sleep — I’m not just fighting a man on April 12, I’m fighting a man possessed by a legion of demons. When I simply said the name Jesus, he was provoked to maliciousness, and he started barking like a dog and chanting ‘F-you, f-you, f-you.’

Now, “Thug Nasty” lays the law on what he plans ahead and the type of man he’s facing. Brazil’s Fighting Nerds and their product Silva are proper breakout stars in their particular divisions. Added to that, Silva is especially entertaining to the masses. Hence, his “fu*k Bryce Mitchell” chants reverberated during the UFC 314 PPV kickoff pressers!

It all started with him dissing Flat-Earther Mitchell with a globe in tow. The crowd swiftly rallied behind “Lord” Silva and his plans to finish the super ‘anti-semitic’ Mitchell. Meanwhile, Mitchell remains composed despite the crowd rallying behind him.

With the scales shifting, Mitchell now plans to do the Lord’s work and quash this demon. Arguably, the last time he started chanting vigorously and said he was seeing demons (Ilia Topuria), it didn’t end well. According to DraftKings Sportbooks, Silva is a big -375 to beat him on the prop line. Will this time be the same? Silva has thoughts of his own.

Jean Silva said demons did not have a hold on him but touts his win would be devilishly good. It has been so far, with an advent of 15-2 MMA stats, but a neat 4-0 UFC undefeated run. He called out ‘Thug Nasty’ after bagging a short TKO win over Melsik Baghdasaryan at UFC Seattle. Before that, his fight night war with Drew Dober was quite something.

The Brazilian fighter recently caught wind of Bryce Mitchell stating demons have a hold of him, making him retract from Jesus. He also said demons are testing his balance and power to sort out with anger and lust. On Monday night, Silva offered a brief rebuttal, saying that his planned opponent was simply “scared.”

Bryce, two things, these are not demons, it’s just you being afraid to face me and second about the beautiful women you have a hormone called testosterone and you probably have problems with it. Just be ready for April 12th, because I will be.

Despite entering this high-profile bout as the more proven 145-pound standout with a current UFC ranking, Mitchell is an underdog. However, the pro-Hitler apologist has more battle experience. Will Jean Silva prove superior with another KO? Or will this be the year of hype checks and losing that big “0”? UFC 314 will tell.
