Things are getting heated between Bryce Mitchell and Jean Silva ahead of their bout at UFC 314 this weekend. Despite being a main card fight, the featherweight contest is making just as much headlines as the co-main and main event.
The massive hype is due to the controversy surrounding the polarizing Mitchell, who made some shocking statements a few months back. In the first episode of his podcast back in January, 'Thug Nasty' said some wild things, including calling Adolf H*tler a "good guy".
Because of this, a very large contingent of fans are rooting for Silva to put the far-right activist away. At the UFC 314 press conference, the tension between the two was so thick you could do it with a knife.

Bryce Mitchell insinuates Jean Silva cast a spell on him with "a legion of demons", Silva responds
When demons are involved in the lead-up to your fight, you can bet fans will be tuning in. Shortly after the early press conference of UFC 314 last month, Bryce Mitchell made a bold claim.
In a video released on social media, 'Thug Nasty' called upon his Christian fans to pray for him as he believes his opponent has cast a demonic spell on him. He wasn't joking - Bryce Mitchell believes that Jean Silva is using demons to mess with him ahead of their bout. You can't possibly make this up.
Mitchell said:
''I need all my Christian warriors to pray for me that I would have peaceful sleep. Every single night since the day before the press conference, I've had demonic dreams, legion of demons are attacking me every single time I sleep.''
Upon learning about this crazy claim, Silva took to X to fashion a witty response:
"Bryce, two things, these are not demons, it's just you being afraid to face me and second about the beautiful women you have a hormone called testosterone and you probably have problems with it. Just be ready for April 12, because I will be."
