"Just how hard does Josh Emmett punch?" - Fans react to Bryce Mitchell's bizarre video of him explaining lust-filled dreams featuring demonic attacks

Bryce Mitchell last entered the octagon in December, defeating Kron Gracie via third-round knockout at UFC 310. 'Thug Nasty' appeared set to face Israeli prospect Ilay Barzilay in a grappling event at Karate Combat 53, however, he was pulled from the matchup and booked to face rising star Jean Silva at UFC 314.

The No.13-ranked featherweight recently shared a video on social media, asking fans to pray for him while accusing his upcoming opponent of sending demons his way, stating:

"I need all my Christian warriors to pray for me that I will have peaceful sleep. Every single night since the day before the press conference, I've had demonic dreams. Legions of demons that are attacking me every single time I sleep and not one time have I seen any peaceful sleep since that day. These demons surround me and they try to fight me and provoke me to anger and then the dream will switch and they'll send beautiful women and they're trying to get me to lust, to cheat on my wife."

Mitchell continued:

"Satan's using two of my weaknesses to try to expose the evil in my own heart, which is anger and lust... I'm not just fighting a man on April 12th. I'm fighting a man possessed by a legion of demons. When I simply said the name Jesus, he was provoked to maliciousness and he started barking like a dog and chanting, 'F you, F you, F you'."

Jean Silva was quick to call out Bryce Mitchell following his first-round TKO victory over Melsik Baghdasaryan at UFC Fight Night 252 last month. The No.13-ranked featherweight took to X in the immediate aftermath to claim that he will humble the rising star, posting:

"Theres only one LORD. and it aint u fool u needa country a** whoopin. it will humble u just rite"
