MMA News has you covered with this week’s UFC matchmaking bulletin, featuring all the additions to upcoming fight cards.
With events being held most weekends, Mick Maynard and Sean Shelby have their matchmaking work cut out if they’re to fill them, meaning new bouts are confirmed each and every week.
Between Monday, November 10, and Sunday, November 17, a number of fights were made official by the UFC or reported by reputable sources. For those matchups, check out the list below:
Movsar Evloev is in need of a new opponent, and Bryce Mitchell may be willing to step up. The Russian was scheduled to face former UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling in a battle of featherweight contenders at UFC 307 on Oct. 5 in Salt Lake City. Sterling, however, was recently announced to be out of […]
Movsar Evloev is in need of a new opponent, and Bryce Mitchell may be willing to step up.
The Russian was scheduled to face former UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling in a battle of featherweight contenders at UFC 307 on Oct. 5 in Salt Lake City.
Sterling, however, was recently announced to be out of UFC 307 due to an injury. The UFC is intending to keep Evloev on the card as long as they can find a short-notice opponent.
Mitchell appears to be willing to fulfill that role, throwing his name into the hat in a recent video interview with The Schmo.
That said, he would take the fight if it could be delayed until right before the end of the year.
Bryce Mitchell Says If He Gets Two Months, He’ll Step Up Against Movsar Evloev
“[I heard Sterling] hurt his elbow,” Mitchell said. “You know what happened last time I took one on short notice. It was ugly. I’m wise enough to respect that I need a little bit more training. I want that fight. Give me two months, I’m down. That’s all I need. Two months. And I think that’s fair to ask.
“And if he really wants that fight, two months is not that long of a wait for what they’re paying him. He can survive two more months without a paycheck. I think he should fight me in two months.”
Mitchell, however, also did note that he wouldn’t want to take the fight from Sterling if he still wanted it — attesting to he and “Funk Master” being good friends.
Mitchell’s most recent fight was also a short-notice bout, one that did not end particularly well for “Thug Nasty.” Stepping up on late notice against Josh Emmett at UFC 296, Mitchell was brutally knocked out in what was a late Knockout of the Year contender.
After starting his career 15-0, the Arkansas native has lost two of his last three.
Evloev, meanwhile, is undefeated at 18-0. He was most recently in action at January’s UFC 297, defeating Arnold Allen.

Sean Strickland and Bryce Mitchell occupying the same space is the stuff nightmares are made of.
Though both fighters have strung together a pair of very successful careers in the world of mixed martial arts, their socio-political commentaries have often overshadowed the accomplishments they’ve made inside the Octagon.
Recently, ‘Thug Nasty’ revealed in a post on social media that he hitched a ride with the former UFC middleweight champion following a hard day of training in Las Vegas.
Mitchell claimed that he was “riding in style” alongside “a friend and an American legend” while barreling down the streets of Las Vegas in Strickland’s Tesla Model S.
It’s a little surprising that Mitchell would even step foot into Strickland’s $40,000 luxury ride considering earlier this year, he dubbed Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk a “false prophet” who would bring about the coming of the Antichrist. And just for good measure, ‘Thug Nasty’ told Musk to “kiss his ass” and “take that Cybertruck to hell where it belongs.”
Strickland hilariously reminded Mitchell of his past comments, adding: “Bro, this is a Tesla. You’re going to lose your fan base.”
It’s not the first time Sean Strickland and Bryce Mitchell have crossed paths
This isn’t the first time Strickland and Mitchell have crossed paths. Earlier this year, ‘Tarzan’ shared a video online of him and the Arkansas native.
“I’m here with my boy Bryce. Man, he is one of the real ones. This man bleeds red, white, and blue. We’re talking about the government, taxation, overthrowing it. Let’s f*cking go! America first, let’s go.”
You just know that someday, these two are going to collaborate on the most absurd podcast of all time and we’re all going to listen.

Bryce Mitchell believes 9/11 was an inside job. In other news, water is still wet.
Despite carrying a solid 16-2 record in mixed martial arts, the 29-year-old Mitchell has become best known for his irrational rants regarding religion, politics, homosexuality, space, and a slew of other nonsensical conspiracy theories he’d love to tell you about in great length.
During a recent appearance on the PBD Podcast with Patrick Bet-David, ‘Thug Nasty’ was asked a seemingly simple question that he promptly turned into an opportunity to claim that the horrific terrorist attack that took down the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, was orchestrated by the U.S. government.
“When I was 16, that’s when the biggest revelation, besides Jesus Christ, that I’ve ever had happened to me,” Mitchell said. “Based upon my own research because I am a source of information, and even though they don’t let you cite yourself, I am a valid source of information. I don’t do no bullsh*t. I tell the truth and if I don’t know it’s true, I won’t say it.
“I’m telling you, I know and I knew when I was 16 that our government orchestrated 9/11 and brought them towers down. I know it. Our government, white people — rich white politicians, not brown people with box cutters. I’m telling you, white people brought down them Twin Towers.“
9/11 claimed the lives of 2,996 people and was the worst terror attack to ever take place on American soil.
Bryce Mitchell Has not booked a return date since his brutal kO loss in December
After kickstarting his career in the Octagon with five straight wins, Bryce Mitchell has lost two of his last three. In his last outing, ‘Thug Nasty’ suffered one of the scariest knockouts in UFC history after absorbing an earth-shattering right hand from KO artist Josh Emmett at UFC 296.
It was an especially disturbing scene as Mitchell began to convulse on the canvas while unconscious. Fortunately, the Arkansas native made a full recovery but is yet to book his next bout.
Bryce Mitchell is further proof that you don’t have to be smart to be successful. Despite being a 16-2…
Bryce Mitchell is further proof that you don’t have to be smart to be successful.
Despite being a 16-2 fighter and ranked within the UFC’s featherweight top 15, ‘Thug Nasty’ is not best known for his skills or accomplishments inside the Octagon. Instead, he’s far more associated with his slew of non-sensical hot takes on the earth being flat (it’s not), NASA being a bunch of Satan worshipers (maybe?), and disputing the existence of gravity.
But he may have outdone them all. Taking to social media, Mitchell — while holding his new baby boy Tucker James —insisted that families should not get their children vaccinated.
“I want to encourage ya’ll not to vaccinate your children because I think it’s bad for their health,” Mitchell said in a video clip posted on Instagram. “It could potentially kill them. Give them some type of… Make them autistic. Seriously, these vaccines are poisonous. Don’t vaccinate your kids.”
Of course, there is no statistical evidence that any of the eight vaccines administered to children and adults cause ADS (Autism Spectrum Disorder). In 2013 the Centers for Disease Control even published findings confirming this, yet the theory has maintained a strong foothold among conspiracy theorists — many of whom were likely vaccinated as children by their far more responsible parents.
Bryce Mitchell convinced public schools will turn his son into a communist, a satan worshiper, or a homosexual
Oh, but Mitchell was far from done there. He also commented on the status of the public school system, noting that he has every intention of homeschooling his son. It’s an understandable stance that a lot of parents can agree with. … Until you find out why Mitchell is going this route.
“Tucker’s also going to be homeschooled,” Mitchell continued. “We’re gonna have to homeschool all our kids or they’re going to end up turning gay and that’s the reason I’m gonna homeschool Tucker. I don’t want him to be a communist, I don’t want him to worship Satan, and I don’t want him to be gay.
“Out of the public schools, they took the most valuable book of all time. The number one selling book of all time. The oldest, most accurate historical document there ever was — the bible. They took it out of the schools and replaced it with Edgar Allen Poe who shacked up with his cousin. My son ain’t gonna be reading no Edgar Allen Poe. He’s going to be reading the bible. That’s just how it is and I’m just telling you, if you don’t teach your kid these things, it’s gonna be fed right to the devil and we’re not gonna let that happen here.”
