Bryce Mitchell Thanks Fans For Helping Him Get Rebook Contract

Bryce Mitchell is a surging fighter in the UFC’s highly competitive Featherweight division. However, the man with one of two Twister finishes in the UFC has a hype train behind him. That was seen when Reebok gave him an exclusive deal to wear camo shorts to the Octagon after he called for them after a fight.

Mitchell spoke to James Lynch who asked Mitchell whether he was surprised at Reebok giving him the shorts.

“I was surprised that they folded so quickly. I really thought it would take a lot longer. But I think it was because the fans was giving them so much help. I mean, you should’ve seen all the stuff on Twitter and Instagram. They were going after Reebok, all the fans were. They wanted to see it and so it wasn’t just me wanting them, it was a lot of people. That’s why they had to eventually give in.”

The notoriously unpopular Reebok finally captured the imagination of the fans by jumping on the Bryce Mitchell bandwagon. Considering the UFC-Reebok deal will soon be ending, it will be interesting to see if Mitchell has a similar deal with the the promotion’s new kit sponsor- Venum.

Bryce Mitchell: Future title contender?

Mitchell is showing a lot of potential in his early UFC outings. He is undefeated in his UFC and MMA career, currently 14-0, with five of those wins have come under the UFC banner. His third UFC fight was where he made the most noise.

Mitchell was facing Matt Sayles on a card headlined by Alistair Overeem and Jairzinho Rozenstruik. However, Mitchell was the talk of the MMA world afterward. He tapped Sylas out with a ‘Twister”, one of the rarest submissions in the sport. It has only been done one other time in the promotion, by fellow Featherweight Chan Sung Jung.

Mitchell is tenacious and can soar high in the promotion. His win over Andre Fili on the Anderson Silva-Uriah Hall card has gotten him ranked in the UFC’s Featherweight division. His next fight will be telling, as Mitchell will look to rise all the way to the top. With his camo shorts on.
