Bryce Mitchell is a top ranked featherweight but in his free time, he is chocking deer.
Mitchell made waves for himself in the UFC. As the 10th ranked featherweight in the world and always demanding some camo shorts. “Thug Nasty” has quite a personality. Look no further from his last fight bringing out a bible into the cage, which is a first. He’s also the outdoorsy type and likes to go hunting. However this latest story of Mitchell is quite interesting.
Bryce Mitchell Claims to Choke a Deer to Death
While talking to the guys at OverDogs Podcast, Bryce Mitchell recalled one his latest times hunting. He missed his shot on a deer and decided to go for his background in MMA to get the job done.
“That happened,” said Mitchell. “Not like the biggest doe ever, but definitely not a small one. I was hunting with a crossbow and I had my scope electrical taped on there. I guess when I got out to the woods the tape wiggled loose and I was shooting and missing. I’m not kidding because my scope was taped on.
“I called the doe in for like two and a half hours. It fell asleep and I took a shot and I missed. I just climbed down the deer stand and I said I’m going to try to get my hands on it. I waited till it went back to sleep and I went real quiet down the deer stand and I was like, ‘Fuck it, I’m going to do it.’
“Before I slid the choke in I texted my coach and I told him to help. Slid my left arm in and I proceeded to choke it to death.”
Mitchell got a bounce back win over Dan Ige in his last fight in the octagon. He got the much needed unanimous decision win in the main event of UFC Fight Night in Vegas. He previously lost by submission to Ilia Topuria at UFC 282 and wasn’t his best performance. That was “Thug Nasty” first pro career loss.
