Bryce
Mitchell will become the first active
Ultimate Fighting Championship fighter to take on a UFC BJJ
champion, Mikey
Musumeci.

Mitchell will square off against Musumeci in a non-title clash,
which serves as the headliner for UFC BJJ 11. It will be contested
at featherweight, which means Musumeci will move up a division to
face Mitchell. UFC BJJ light heavyweight champion Mason
Fowler will defend his crown against Nicky Rod in the co-main
event.

UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell faces UFC BJJ champion Mikey
Musumeci in historic featherweight matchup

Musumeci enters the matchup unbeaten under the UFC BJJ banner after
previously enjoying a perfect run in One
Championship. The five-time IBJJF black belt world champion
(four times in Gi and once in No-Gi) captured the UFC BJJ
bantamweight title before successfully defending it three times.
His four UFC BJJ appearances after UFC Fight Pass Invitational 9
have resulted in three heel hooks and one foot lock.

Meanwhile, “Thug Nasty“ has competed in three grappling matches
over the past nine months. In this run, he secured a draw against
fellow UFC fighter Jean Silva
in March and a win over J.J. Bowers, but lost to Landon Elmore via
heel hook.

Mitchell has scored the majority of his 19 MMA wins by submission,
forcing 10 tap-outs. His most recent victory came against Santiago
Luna in June, when he won via an arm triangle choke.
