Mitchell has Tucker Carlson partly to thank for the beautiful
family he has today.
Mitchell is quite an interesting character in several ways. The
UFC featherweight is a flat earther who loves farming and lives
a secluded life on his ranch in Arkansas. Mitchell is married to
Erin Handlow, with whom he had a son earlier this year. “Thug
Nasty” named his son Tucker after Carlson, whom he credits for
helping him connect with Handlow.
While Mitchell has done multiple interviews with Carlson over the
years, a particular one from 2022 went viral due to “Thug Nasty’s”
wild theories and views on the government. Mitchell revealed that
Handlow messaged him on Instagram after watching that interview and
the two soon bonded.
“We named him Tucker because me and my wife met because I did an
interview with Tucker Carlson,” Mitchell recently told Daniel
Cormier. “Bro, it got millions of views… Not only did I love
it, if it was not (for) this, brother I wouldn’t have a kid and a
wife without this interview. I’m a very unique character… She can
cook, she can clean and everything in between. She’s a 10 out of
10. And I cannot even tell you how perfect this woman is. And we
would have never met if I didn’t go on Tucker Carlson. But at that
point in my life I was praying for a wife. I was really just
saying, ‘God please, give me a wife. Because if not, I’m in
trouble.’… She messaged me on Instagram after that and said, ‚Hey,
I’ve seen you on Tucker Carlson,’ and we started talking.”
While Mitchell was undefeated in his first 15 career outings till
2022, he has since gone 2-2 in his last four, suffering stoppages
against current featherweight champ Ilia
Topuria and Josh Emmett.
Mitchell most recently returned to the win column with a
third-round knockout of Kron Gracie
at UFC 310
earlier this month.
