“So, when are you ready, Bryce Mitchell?” – the Russian wrote on the social network, referring to the American. “I heard you say it won’t take long, otherwise just admit you don’t want to have anything to do with me”
Earlier, UFC matchmakers made two attempts to bring Evloev and Mitchell into the octagon – in November last year, an injured Russian dropped out of the fight, and in May of this year, an injured American withdrew from the fight. As a result, the undefeated Movsar Evloev met with the organization’s debutant Diego Lopez, and chalked up his seventh victory in the UFC, defeating the Brazilian by unanimous decision.
Bryce Mitchell suffered his first loss of his professional career in December last year, losing to Elijah Topuria by arm triangle choke in the second round, and has not returned to the octagon since.
