“Lord” vs. “Thug Nasty”?
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Featherweight Brazilian madman Jean Silva stole the show at UFC Seattle last night (Sat., Feb. 22, 2025) when he destroyed Melsik Baghdasaryan in the first round with a vicious punch followed by elbows, all from inside Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Wash (watch highlights).
In his post-fight interview with Michael Bisping, Silva was asked who he wanted to fight, and he had a name locked and loaded: Bryce Mitchell.
Mitchell infamously called Adolf Hitler a “good guy” and said he “would want to go fishing” with him, and “Lord” did not appreciate Mitchell’s comments.
“I think Bryce Mitchell is someone that would offer me an opportunity to get a very good renewed contract if I beat him. Also, he’s a guy that fought Ilia [Topuria] and took him to the brink,” Silva said. “As for everything else, there are things you cannot tolerate, especially when you’re a public persona.”
It did not take long for Mitchell to respond to the call out.
“Theres only one LORD and it aint u fool,” Mitchell wrote on social media. “U needa country ass whoopin. It will humble u just rite.”

MMAMania.com asked CEO Dana White about the potential matchup yesterday.
“I bet there’s a lot of people [that want to see that fight],” White laughed. “I don’t know. We’ll see.”
Silva (15-2) is 4-0 in the UFC with four knockouts (all because of his wife).
