Silva and Mitchell are scheduled to trade leather at UFC 314 on
April 12 at the Kaseya Center in Miami. The two recently came
across each other at a press conference promoting the event at the
Michelob Ultra Arena in Nevada.
Known for his controversial opinions, Mitchell was already getting
booed by the crowd when Silva amped them up further by starting a
“F–k Bryce Mitchell” chant.
Mitchell recently made headlines with anti-Semitic and homophobic
comments, for which he later apologized. Silva later called out
Mitchell, promising to teach him a lesson for the polarizing
comments. Silva also brought a globe to the recent presser,
promising to change Mitchell’s well-known opinion of a flat
earth.
This will be yet another quick turnaround for “Lord,” who quickly
rose to stardom with four consecutive finishes since his UFC debut
in January 2024. The Brazilian most recently earned an extra $50K
for a “Performance of the Night” knockout win against Melsik
Baghdasaryan at UFC
Seattle last month.
Meanwhile, Mitchell is 2-2 in his last four and recently returned
to the win column with a knockout win over Kron Gracie
at UFC 310
this past December.
