Jean
Silva isn’t done with former foe Bryce
Mitchell — even after beating him in the Octagon.

Known for his unorthodox personality and opinions, well-known flat
earther Mitchell recently came up with a new training technique.
“Thug Nasty” uploaded a video of himself using a full-sized pig for
heavy bag work. Silva didn’t miss the chance to diss Mitchell,
advising him to stick to fighting his farm animals.
“Only this way for you to hit someone! You’d better stay on the
farm taking care of cattle, because things aren’t working out with
athletes!” Silva commented on Mitchell’s Instagram post.
Living out of his farm in Arkansas, Mitchell was once a hot
featherweight prospect despite his controversial opinions. However,
Mitchell’s career has hit a rough patch in recent times. Mitchell
is 2-3 in his last five, with losses against Ilia
Topuria, Josh Emmett
and most recently, Silva. “Lord” submitted Mitchell in the second
round of their UFC
314 bout this past April. Prior to the bout, Mitchell bizarrely
accused the Brazilian of unleashing demons on him.
A member of
The Fighting Nerds, Silva rose to stardom in the
UFC like a number of his teammates. Silva earned his contract
on
Dana White’s Contender Series and has scored five straight
finishes a since his debut last year.
