Is Bryce Mitchell fighting this weekend?

Bryce Mitchell will no longer headline the UFC Vegas 64 card on Saturday, November 5. 'Thug Nasty' was originally scheduled to meet Movsar Evloev at the upcoming Fight Night event in a clash of undefeated featherweights.

However, the bout had to be scrapped as Evloev was forced to withdraw earlier this month due to an injury. As the fight fell through, Mitchell took to Twitter to express his frustration with the Russian, considering the amount of "bullying" he went through in the lead-up to the fight:

"So after months of harassing me and bullying me on the social media, Movsar pulls out of the fight, you know? And might I say, I’ve never been so bullied in my life and I don’t really accept the victim mentality, it don’t really bother me. It just p*sses me off, you know? It makes me want to go in there and punch him right in his face."

A women's strawweight clash between Marina Rodriguez and Amanda Lemos has been elevated to main event status at UFC Vegas 64.

When will Bryce Mitchell fight next and who will his opponent be?

Bryce Mitchell has been eagerly waiting for a fight since his last appearance at UFC 272 this past March. He will make his long-awaited octagon return at the promotion's final pay-per-view card of 2022.

'Thug Nasty' is set to take on fellow undefeated fighter Ilia Topuria at UFC 282 on December 10 at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada.

Ilia Topuria was gearing up to take on Edson Barboza in last weekend's UFC Vegas 63 headliner, but the Brazilian also withdrew from the bout due to an injury. With both Mitchell and Topuria left without an opponent, the pair will put their undefeated streaks on the line against one another.

Bryce Mitchell is coming off a unanimous decision win over Edsen Barboza in March. The 28-year-old will look to extend his record to a perfect 16-0.

Ilia Topuria, on the other hand, will be aiming for his 13th consecutive victory. 'El Matador' moved up to lightweight for his latest triumph over Jai Herbert in March. The 25-year-old will drop back down to 145lbs for his next octagon appearance later this year.
