Bryce Mitchell Details Home Encounter with Person 'Possessed by Demons'



UFC featherweight standout Bryce Mitchell is a flat earther who spends his time farming when he’s not training or fighting. While he is now building a house, “Thug Nasty” has so far lived in his 30-foot trailer on his 16-acre farm in Arkansas, which he claims will “feed the lord’s army” when the time comes.

During a recent interview with UFC commentator Brendan Fitzgerald, Mitchell revealed that there has been a significant shift in his spirituality over the course of the past year. The 28-year-old’s belief in God was sealed courtesy of a particular incident which took place around the time of his UFC 272 victory over Edson Barboza.

Mitchell claims to have had an encounter with a possessed person who was ransacking his home as he watched helplessly. It was then that “Thug Nasty” fell back to his religious upbringing and successfully cast out the “demon” by taking the name of Jesus Christ.

“Well, I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ as I was casting out a demon,” said Mitchell, who revealed that he now regrets making fun of religious people in the past. “Exorcisms are real… Well, I was in an argument with a person possessed by demons… I could not get this possessed person out of my home.

“I’d invited this person into my home and they were destroying it and they were possessed and I was witnessing a full-blown possession, something that I never believed in. And I instantly reverted back to my roots. I was raised by my mother who always taught me the word of Jesus…And I said, ‘In the name of Jesus Christ I command all evil to leave,’ and just like that (snap of a finger), the possessed person was gone. They walked right out of the door.”

Mitchell will look to bounce back from his first UFC loss when he takes on Dan Ige in the co-main event at UFC Fight Night 228 on Saturday.
