“I’m going with Bryce (Mitchell) because of the experience, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Jean goes in there and just does his job. Bryce is a good striker, but sometimes he doesn’t control the distance properly and starts trying to get takedowns from a distance that won’t work. I love the way Jean controls the distance. Because of the experience, I’m going with Bryce because he’s been in there against the best. Even though he lost, he’s gained experience. Bryce is no joke, man. I wouldn’t be surprised if Jean takes this one, but my official bet is Bryce mitchell, I'm going to make the decision”, he said.

Jean Silva e Bryce mitchell face each other in a duel full of rivalry on the main card of UFC 314. The event features a featherweight (up to 65,7 kg) title fight between Alexander Volkanovsky e Diego lopes.
