Barboza came in with a game plan, to chop Bryce‘s legs off to cut off his wrestling but Mitchell managed to drop him in R3, had numerous takedown successes, and rained a barrage of punches/elbows leading him to secure the win.

Edson and Mitchell shared a wholesome moment right after the fight when Bryce asked Barboza if he’d want to ‘say a prayer together‘ following which they did. Bryce said, “We shared a prayer after the fight, He believes in God as well and that’s why it’s so damn tough.” Bryce and Edson showed that fighters don’t have to hate each other to put on a show, Bryce adds “That’s my brother, my uncle, and my father. We ain’t blood but we bleed together…” lines that are just enough to make a grown man cry.

In the post-fight interview, Bryce Mitchell reveals that he would give something back to the people by donating half his money to charity, says Dana offered to donate instead of him and asked him to ‘keep the money’ for himself.

Bryce being the noble person said that the donation would now definitely be more than $45k, says that he’d still want to give back since he wouldn’t feel satisfied otherwise.

“I’m still going to do something because I need to but there will be more than $45,000, we have people coming out of the woodwork… I’m planting the seed and we’re going to watch this thing grow and it’s all about giving back, like I said this ain’t just about hurting people when I’m done, we’re going to help people,” said Mitchell.

Bryce plans on donating all the money to a charity in Arkansas that helps ‘children with medical conditions who have no hope‘, says that children are the purest and most precious on the planet. He adds that the greatest thing to do in the octagon is to ‘Inspire’ other people to do good which would, in turn, keep compounding and would probably make the world a slightly better place. Indeed a genuine gesture by Bryce and he has our heart.
