When Bryce Mitchell shared his experience of getting "sh*t on" his face working at the farm

Bryce Mitchell lives on his native grounds in Texarkana, Arkansas, where he balances his MMA career with overseeing a cattle farm.

Earlier in January, the No.11-ranked featherweight fighter recounted a rather grim tale stemming from a DIY endeavor at his residence, one that resulted in an awkward situation for him. True to the traditions of farm living, 'Thug Nasty' attempted to tackle his home's plumbing system which ended up in total failure.

During his appearance on the Real Eyes Recognize Podcast in January, Mitchell stated:

"I replaced a whole main line, the main sewer tile, you know...I'm talking like, I got the solids whilst I'm underneath the trailer. I cut the line, boom! Sh*t's on my face, you know what I'm saying. With corn in it! I mean, it's as real as it gets. I'm just telling you the truth...I knew it was going to come out. Protective gear can help you, but you've got to have an exit strategy."
