Bryce Mitchell praises Kron Gracie’s striking in recent podcast Appearance with Jake Shields
A few days ago, Bryce Mitchell had a conversation with former UFC fighter Jake Shields on the Fight Back podcast. Mitchell talked about his upcoming bout with Jean Silva at UFC 314, as the Arkansas native enters the octagon as an underdog, with all betting odds against him.
'Thug Nasty' also reflected his victory over Kron Gracie at UFC 310. Even though he knocked Gracie down, finishing with a couple of brutal elbows in the third round, the 30-year-old spoke highly of his opponent and his striking abilities, showing disappointment in the backlash Gracie faced after his loss:
"He's so underestimated. They have no clue how good his boxing is. People say he can't box, he'd knock them the f*** out. I mean, the dude can box, brother. He hit me just as much as these elite strikers hit me"
