“Does This Guy Seriously Lack All Concept of Self-Preservation?” – UFC World Reacts to Bloody Injury Sustained by Bryce Mitchell

It seems like UFC star Bryce Mitchell is just a magnet for injuries. The featherweight contender has yet again managed to land himself in a spine-chilling injury. Not too long ago, he infamously tangled his own scrotum in a power drill accident. Now, he’s found himself pulling a massive splinter out of the middle of his hand. Although this recent injury is not nearly as serious as his previous mishap, it’s still quite gnarly.

But it seems that ‘Thug Nasty’ can’t keep his body out of harm’s way. And the news of this injury has elicited quite a number of reactions from the UFC community. Fans are already speculating that this injury could work as an ‘excuse’ in case his next fight ends up with the same fate as his last one against Ilia Topuria, which resulted in his first professional MMA loss.

Fans believe Bryce Mitchell’s injury will lead to excuses for himself

A recent photo of Bryce Mitchell has surfaced online, showing his bloodied hand after he pulled out a massive splinter. The graphic picture has left fans wondering if ‘Thug Nasty’ will use this injury as an excuse for his next loss in the octagon, while others are left puzzled over how he manages to continually put himself in such precarious situations.

Some fans believed this injury will lead to the fighter providing excuses for another loss.

Wherein other fans stay perplexed over how he ends up in such situations:

However, his next fight is around the corner and he will certainly be looking to come back strong after his last loss against Ilia Topuria.

Who is Bryce Mitchell fighting next?

Bryce Mitchell has officially locked in his next fight against Jonathan Pearce for a highly anticipated UFC event on May 6 at UFC 288. Pearce has only suffered a setback in his promotional debut against Joe Lauzon and currently holds a five-fight winning streak out of his six fights in the UFC. On the flip side, Mitchell was undefeated until his most recent fight, with a second-round submission to Ilia Topuria at UFC 282 breaking the streak.

‘Thug Nasty’ blamed his lackluster performance on the flu that threw a wrench into his training camp preparations. He stated he had second thoughts about participating in the bout but insisted that financial difficulties made it hard for him to turn it down.

Mitchell has a lot to prove in his upcoming fight against Pearce, and he’ll undoubtedly be looking to turn the tables after his recent loss. While the fans would hope for his well-being in the meantime. What do you make of Mitchell’s injury? Let us know your comments below.
