UFC 314: Bryce Mitchell vs. Jean Silva: Full video highlights

Jean Silva continued his red-hot streak at UFC 314, securing a second-round submission victory over Bryce Mitchell.

In one of the most anticipated bouts on Saturday night’s main card, Silva and Mitchell clashed in a high-stakes contest. Mitchell entered the fight looking to build momentum off a recent knockout win over Kron Gracie, while Silva sought his fifth UFC win and a top 15 spot after a dominant run that included a first-round finish of Melsik Baghdasaryan.

The first round saw Mitchell pressure early, cutting off the cage and firing off low kicks to maintain distance. Silva showed flashes of sharp striking but was mostly conservative until landing a clean right hand and later stuffing a Mitchell takedown attempt. Though the round was competitive, Silva’s cleaner shots may have edged it.

In the second round, Silva dropped Mitchell with a right hand and dominated the exchanges. Mitchell desperately sought a takedown but couldn’t find success as Silva's balance and takedown defense held firm. After repeated sprawls and striking flurries, Silva locked in a tight ninja choke during a scramble. Mitchell didn’t tap — he went out cold.

The official stoppage came at 3:52 of Round 2, marking Silva’s 13th straight win and fifth in the UFC.

Post-fight, Silva erupted with energy in his interview, shouting out Miami and declaring, “Next champion, brother!” He called out Diego Lopes for a title fight, provided Lopes wins his bout later in the night.
