LAS VEGAS – As Bryce Mitchell nears the biggest fight of his career, facing a proven contender in a featured bout of a major UFC pay-per-view event, the spotlight focused on “Thug Nasty” continues to intensify.
The undefeated featherweight has used much of the new attention not just to further his career but also to discuss his political beliefs, a practice that has begun to bring him his share of criticism along with some added support. But Mitchell said despite some pushback, he isn’t planning to stop the discussions anytime soon.
“I want to talk about things that I think are political, but I want to do it in a respectful manner, not to make other people think that I think that they’re stupid,” Mitchell told The Underground.
