Baddest Mother F—ker? Nah …
Top 15-ranked Featherweight, Bryce Mitchell, finally returns to action this weekend (Sat., Dec. 7, 2024) for the first time since getting his eggs scrambled (so bad) late last year (watch here). The outspoken 145-pound standout will take on Kron Gracie on UFC 310’s pay-per-view (PPV) main card from inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Whether fans (and fighters) like it or not!
Nevertheless, prior to UFC 310 media day earlier this afternoon (watch it here), “Mitchell vs. Gracie” was just a regular fight on the main card; however, it will now be for a new belt: “The Flattest Mother F—ker Belt” (FMF).
“I think [on Saturday], the Flat Earth champ will be crowned,” Mitchell told MMAmania.com. “That’s one thing [Kron and I] can agree on, ain’t it.”
Indeed, both Featherweights strongly believe that the Earth is flat. In fact, Mitchell went as far as to challenge ringside announcer — and top-ranked podcaster — Joe Rogan, to a flat-Earth debate.
In the end, Rogan “sissied out.”
Nevertheless, it would be very on-brand for a gimmick belt to be on the line for the phony theory. At least it’s better than a “Baddest Mind Control” belt (Kron has already mastered that level).
Nevertheless, as random as this fight is, it will be fun, especially because Gracie vows to have a better fight than his last outing at UFC 288, which was a colossal disaster.
