Minutes after brutally knocking out Melsik Baghdasaryan on the main card of UFC Seattle , last Saturday (22), Jean Silva already set his sights on a new target: the controversial Bryce Mitchell , who has already given a positive signal for the duel. Now, the trend is that the provocations between the two will become more and more frequent, at least as far as the Brazilian is concerned.
After the American responded to the challenge, promising to 'beat up' Jean , the Brazilian didn't leave him without a reply. 'Lord' responded to Mitchell's post on the social network 'X' (formerly Twitter), mentioning his rival's belief in the 'flat Earth' theory.

“Okay, okay, but I’m going to beat you until you see that the Earth is round,” Jean wrote.
Targeted by Jean Silva , Bryce Mitchell is known for his controversial beliefs and speeches outside the octagon. Besides believing in a flat Earth, the American has spoken out against vaccination, against schools, and, in his most recent controversy, praised Adolf Hitler.
If confirmed, a fight against Bryce Mitchell could be an opportunity for Jean Silva , undefeated in the UFC with four knockouts in four fights, to finally break into the featherweight rankings (up to 65,7 kg), as the American currently occupies the 13th position in the category.
