“Rip to Mitchell’s Career” – After Bryce Mitchell’s Opponent Pulls Out, News of His Next Fight Has Fans Worried

Bryce Mitchell recently faced a new hurdle in his upcoming main-card fight as his opponent Jonathan Pearce withdrew from their bout scheduled for UFC 288 due to an undisclosed injury. Mitchell, also known as ‘Thug Nasty’, was looking to bounce back from his first-ever UFC loss against Ilia Topuria at UFC 282 and had hoped to reverse his fortunes with a win in his next fight against Pearce.

However, the situation looked bleak for the fighter, as his next fight became uncertain. But there is a recent development in this story, as it has been reported that the UFC has found a replacement fighter for the Arkansas native to keep him on the main card. However, fight fans are more concerned than excited about this news, as they fear that the new opponent may not be a good match for the Arkansas native.

Fans shared their thoughts on the matchup:

• “Oof. This is another tough match-up for Mitchell .”
• “Rip to Mitchell’s career. He’s hitting one of those runs that when we look back in a few years it will be like “damn he fought all the killers”.”
• “Did Bryce also agree to the new opponent? It takes agreement by both.”
• “Damn Mitchell about to loss two in a row”
• “There goes Mitchell tune up fight”
• “Idk if his ego gonna be able to recover after 2 in a row”
• “No chance Mitchell agrees to this after he got exposed by illia. If he does much respect.”
• “If Mitchell wins this won, good on him, but geeze he’s getting nothing but killers lately.”

The 29-year-old Evloev has fought in six UFC fights, winning each fight via decision. Fans believe that this undefeated Russian is trouble and may pose a significant challenge for Mitchell. Hence, ‘Thug Nasty’ will have to bring his A-game if he wants to win.
