UFC Record Breakdown
Bryce Mitchell is back at bantamweight and looking to build on that wild comeback. After getting guillotined by Jean Silva at UFC 314, Thug Nasty dropped down to 135 and pulled off a slick decision over Said Nurmagomedov in Abu Dhabi this past July. That win showed he's still got it, mixing up his striking and grappling to outwork a legit contender. Now he's facing Santiago Luna, who's been tearing through dudes lately. BorderBoy just beat Angel Pacheco by decision in Mexico City back in February, and before that he starched Quang Le with ground and pound in the first round last September.
If this hits the ground in rounds two or three, someone's getting caught in something nasty.
Here's the thing about Mitchell at bantamweight: he looks sharper. Against Said, he landed 76% of his strikes and controlled nearly ten minutes of the fight. That's the Thug Nasty everyone remembers from his featherweight run when he beat Dan Ige and finished Kron Gracie with nasty elbows from guard. Luna's no joke though. He went 5 for 5 on takedowns against Pacheco and has finished fights on the feet and the ground.
This matchup is all about whether Mitchell's grappling can neutralize Luna's momentum. Mitchell's a southpaw wizard on the mat, but Luna showed perfect takedown defense against Pacheco while landing 155 strikes. Both guys are dangerous wherever it goes, and fans are hyped to see if Mitchell can keep rolling at 135 or if Luna continues his tear through the division.
