Bryce Mitchell might be one of the most colorful personalities in the UFC.
‘Thug Nasty’ gained recognition for his elite grappling, becoming only the second fighter to execute a Twister submission inside the Octagon. However, his recent popularity stems from more than just his skills. From carrying a Bible and shouting “Freedom!” like Braveheart during his UFC introductions to sharing his belief that the Earth is flat, he’s captured attention for his eccentricities as well.
Meet a UFC fighter from Arkansas, Bryce Mitchell.

Mitchell’s latter point has again put him in the headlines, this time targeting tech Oligarch and soon-to-be-minted co-lead of Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk.
Speaking on Michael Bisping’s Believe You Me podcast, Mitchell slammed Musk’s Neuralink technology.
Mitchell possibly refers to Revelation 13:16-17, which describes the mark of the beast forcing people of all statuses — rich or poor, free or enslaved — to receive the mark on their right hands or foreheads. Without it, they would be unable to buy or sell, symbolizing total economic and social control.
“… I’m telling you, the future of technology is a few humans are gonna use it to control the rest of humans, and that’s what’s happening. The Bible has said that for thousands of years… When you see a guy like Elon Musk putting chips in people’s brains, acting like he’s a doctor – his cars suck, he’s never been to space. He can’t go to space… He knows the Earth is flat. He’s a lying rat b******.”
