Behind every successful man is a woman, as the old saying goes. And this is especially true for UFC fighters. In a sport as dangerous and unpredictable as mixed martial arts, where one can go from being on the summit to hitting rock-bottom in one night (as, say Kamaru Usman or Israel Adesanya did recently), it is important to have a good support structure around to ensure one can deal with such setbacks.

Conversely, a lack of such a supporting structure, or a bad support structure can prove to be disastrous for someone in a profession as uncertain and dangerous as mixed martial arts. On the other hand, they also say that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

And UFC featherweight Bryce Mitchell seems to have experienced the fury of a scorned woman recently. While the American is involved in a loving relationship with his current girlfriend, he has also has an ex-girlfriend, whose conduct in recent times has him worried for his life and safety and that of his girlfriend and animals. But first, let us discuss who his current girlfriend is.

Bryce Mitchell’s troubles with ex-girlfriend

Recently, Bryce Mitchell made a troubling revelation on social media. In a social media post, the American revealed that his ex-girlfriend, Kish Jones, allegedly vandalized his home, which left him scared for the safety of his girlfriend. He said that his tattoo artist ex visited his home and destroyed his beloved fruit trees that he had been working on for a long time. He was afraid for the safety of his own and his animals’ life. Mitchell also stated that she had threatened to kill him and his pets. He called out to his community of Searcy to help ensure the safety of his wife and animals.

“So I’m outta town for my fight and my coward ex-girlfriend came by my house and vandalized my house yesterday,” Mitchell said in a video “She destroyed all of my fruit trees. Now, my ex-girlfriend runs a tattoo shop on Booth Street, and for the love of god, if you’re not evil. If you’re not a coward, don’t give her your business. The tattoo shop on Booth Street. The woman that runs that came by my place and destroyed all my fruit trees,” the featherweight said.

“I’ve been working on those trees for years and she came by last night and killed them all. I’m making this post because this sh*t is evil and I’m begging the community of Searcy to help me. Guys, I’m out of town and my animals and my wife is at home by herself. Please, I need my neighbors to help. This evil woman, she’s going to come by. She’s threatened to kill my dogs. She’s threatened to kill me. She’s threatened to kill all my animals and I’m telling you, last night she came over and killed my trees,” he added.

Another twist in the tale came when the journalist Amy Kaplan shared a video showing the featherweight breaking into his ex-girlfriend’s house in an attempt to get his dog from her.

“I have obtained an old video of a heated exchange between Bryce Mitchell and his ex-girlfriend Kish Jones in which Bryce shatters the glass in her door in an attempt to get his dog. As you might know, Bryce took to Instagram this week to say he was fearful for his life,” Kaplan tweeted.
