'Thug Nasty' is one of only three hunters who have a certain entry on his UFC record.
Many fans predict that Jean Silva will put a dominant display against Bryce Mitchell on UFC 314 in Miami on 12 April.
Due to recent controversies, Mitchell has become a non -leach figure on the Roster, as it was proven a few weeks ago during the press conference for the event.
However, that does not mean that he does not earn a place in the featherweight division if you look at his assets alone.
Mitchell really announced himself at 145 pounds in 2019, where he replicated one of the most famous submissions in UFC history that surprised a spokeless Joe Rogan.

Bryce Mitchell submitted Matt Sayles in 2019 via a Twister
Bryce Mitchell was in the UFC after participating in season 27 of the Ultimate Fighter as a member of the Daniel Cormier team.
The resident of Arkansas defeated his colleague -cast member Tyler Diamond at the final before he recorded a fight of the night's win in March 2019 for Bobby Moffett.
Mitchell returned later that year for a matchup with Matt Sayles in Washington DC on the same night that Jairzinho Rozen bush Alistair Overeem stopped with only 4 seconds to the clock.
Sayles had gone 1-1 in the Octagon and Kyle Nelson was submitted to bounce back from a decision loss to Sheymon Moraes on UFC 227.
In the opening round of their featherweight collision, Mitchell wrote history when he only became the second hunter who won a UFC match via a Twister entrance.
The technology became popular by the 10th planet Jiu-Jitsu founder Eddie Bravo before Chan Sung Jung, also known as 'The Korean Zombie', brought the submission to the Octagon.
Zombie tapped Leonard Garcia in his UFC debut in 2011 and revealed that he learned the Twister by watching videos from Bravo on YouTube.
It then became a legendary movement between the MMA community before Mitchell was able to replicate the performance, by gaining six consecutive victories in the Octagon before he ran his first loss for Ilia Topuria.
Da'mon Blackshear would be the third hunter in the UFC history who won by Twister in August 2023, where he submitted Jose Johnson.
Bryce Mitchell's Grijp will test Jean Silva
Jean Silva has been incredibly impressive since he arrives in the UFC, but we still don't know how he will go against a top grappler.
Bryce Mitchell suffered a number of devastating losses during his time with the promotion, but he also defeated a good opposition with his wrestling.
Although Silva will have a clear advantage on the feet and he has never been submitted in his career, Mitchell is not going to have a striking game with him.
Mitchell may not be that nice at the moment, but that does not mean that he is not a solid candidate in the featherweight division that could win a huge victory by beating Silva in Miami.
