Bryce Mitchell absolutely dominated the Octagon against Kron Gracie at UFC 310. While both of the fighters were heavily focused on their grappling skills, Gracie was a bit troubled with the striking game. Well, you simply can’t expect to win an MMA bout with only one martial art form in your arsenal now, can you? Gracie seemed to have learned that the hard way as he got knocked out by Mitchell in the final round with a slam and a flurry of elbows. 

‘Ice Cream Kron’s troubles were further intensified as the entire world of mixed martial arts began criticizing him for the defeat. Even his uncle, Cesar Gracie, joined the fighting community to take a jibe at the featherweight fighter. Taking to X, he wrote, “Never a good idea to pull guard in mma like that. Never.” 

While ‘Thug Nasty’ was pretty aggressive in the first 2 rounds, the final round saw a change in his approach. But as Gracie approached him, he tried to kick and lost his footing in the process. Mitchell shot right up and landed a left punch and a knee to his opponent’s body. But when Gracie secured a body lock, Mitchell sent an elbow that bounced Gracie’s head off the canvas. This actually knocked ‘Ice Cream Kron’ out, but Mitchell’s next strikes woke him up. The referee witnessed it all and gave ‘Thug Nasty’ his well-deserved victory.

One of the fans weighed in on the disappointment the Gracie family must have faced while watching Kron Gracie go down. The fan wrote, “Kron Gracie will be kicked out of the family.” Another fan commented, “Going to be a long flight home.” One more fan claimed that the Christmas 2024 gathering would be pretty awkward for the featherweight fighter. The comment read, “Oh man, family Christmas just got real awkward.”

Some of the fight fans criticized Gracie’s failure to try for takedowns. The fan commented, “It should be absolute last resort after it’s been made clear that you have 0 chance to take your opponent down. Kron didn’t even try to get a takedown.” Well, not having the ability to strike wasn’t well appreciated by the fans. One fan wrote, “Never a good idea to be a UFC fighter with 0 striking ability.” But this was the case with most of the Gracies right now. One fan weighed in on this and wrote, “What do you mean? He’s keeping with family tradition by getting destroyed by a more well rounded fighter.”
