In the thrilling featherweight co-main event at UFC Fight Night 228, Bryce Mitchell emerged victorious against Dan Ige. This bout took place inside the UFC Apex arena, situated in the city of Las Vegas. It was a crucial moment in Mitchell’s career as he rebounded from his initial setback, which was his very first loss.

Mitchell’s resurgence was nothing short of impressive, and he demonstrated his prowess by securing a unanimous decision win. The judges’ scorecards unequivocally favored Mitchell, with two of them scoring the fight 29-28 in his favor, while the third judge awarded an even more decisive 30-27 score in acknowledgment of his outstanding performance.

However, his win was overshadowed by his antics, such as screaming ‘Freedom’ at the top of his lungs while his name was being announced before the fight started. It was hilarious as well as weird, but it did get a lot of attention from fans, and former UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling was definitely one of them. Sterling shared the clip on his X account and wrote, ‘Freedom’. 

Mitchell has gained a lot of fan following since his UFC debut because of his personality and conspiracy theories. The fighter is unapologetically himself and raises some of the most unpredictable questions, which makes him very entertaining both inside and outside the octagon.
