Bryce Mitchell claims demons haunt him ahead of UFC 314 fight with Jean Silva

UFC 314 features a spectacular fight that is sure to draw a lot of attention from combat sports fans. Featherweight Bryce Mitchell has a very important match ahead of him on April 12. He will face Jean Silva, a Brazilian who has already gained a lot of popularity thanks to his incredible knockouts. Silva has only recently joined the UFC, but he has quickly become recognizable for his impressive performances, achieving four consecutive victories in just 13 months. This is a fighter in top form and with a lot of confidence.

What can we expect?

For Mitchell, this fight represents a massive opportunity to advance his career. A victory over Silva would be his way to the very top of the featherweight division, and a fight with the Brazilian fighter is full of emotional and psychological challenges. Silva is known for his love of provoking his opponents. 

At his last press conference, this great fighter mocked Mitchell, inviting the audience to shout insults at him. In addition, Silva brought a globe to the press conference, mocking Mitchell's belief in the flat Earth theory, which caused additional tension.

Mitchell did not hesitate to respond via Instagram. He shared his spiritual experiences that hit him hard after the conference. Allegedly, he was attacked by demons in his dreams each time after these events, and he believes that this negative spirit tried to make it difficult for him to find peace of mind. Although his comments may have sounded dramatic, Mitchell emphasized his faith and the strength he draws from it, emphasizing that the Lord is with him when he is at his weakest.

The conflict between beliefs and fighting spirit

Silva did not hesitate and responded to Mitchell's comments. Through social networks, the Brazilian mocked his opponent, claiming that he was not a demon, but just a simple fear of fighting. Silva also commented on Mitchell's story about his wife, implying that his opponent has problems with his hormones. For Silva, this is a fight in which he will be fully prepared, while Mitchell clearly has a different approach.
