Dana White faced a wide range of questions after he turned up to the UFC 314 post-fight press conference. Among them was a request for him to share his thoughts on Bryce Mitchell's crushing submission loss to Jean Silva. There was tremendous in the bout heading into UFC 314.

"I'll tell you what I'll say about Bryce Mitchell. You know what happened. He's a grown man, stood his ground, came out and faced the media several times, came in here and fought, and I'm sure a lot of moments he's had leading up to this fight, including tonight in the cage, he felt like his back was against the wall and he stood up like a man and he fought and did his thing."

The main card was memorable, with Dominick Reyes flattening Nikita Krylov with a first-round knockout. Meanwhile, Jean Silva battered and submitted Bryce Mitchell within two rounds. Thereafter, Yair Rodriguez and Patricio 'Pitbull' Freire had an exciting war defined by knockdowns and submission attempts.
Paddy Pimblett rose to the occasion to demolish Michael Chandler with a third-round TKO, and Alexander Volkanovski made history by becoming the first fighter over 35 years old to capture a title in the lighter divisions.
