Bryce Mitchell, preparing for his UFC 314 fight against Jean Silva, claims to be experiencing demonic dreams since their pre-fight press conference, attributing them to Silva’s mental warfare, while Silva and others dismiss these as fears and testosterone issues.
Bryce Mitchell might really need some shut-eye. The featherweight vet is gearing up for UFC 314 in April, marking his first fight since he went off on a tangent defending Adolf Hitler and denying the Holocaust. Recently, he hit up social media asking folks to pray for him to find peace in his dreams.
Why, you ask? Well, Mitchell’s convinced that his next opponent, Jean Silva, has unleashed demons on him. He thinks it’s some sort of mental warfare before they clash in Miami. “Every single night since the day before the press conference, I’ve had demonic dreams,” Mitchell shared on Instagram. “Legions of demons are attacking me every time I sleep.”
These dreams aren’t just nightmares; they’re full-on battles. Demons surround him, trying to provoke anger. Then, the scene switches—suddenly, beautiful women tempt him to lust. It’s like Satan’s using his weaknesses against him: anger and lust.
Mitchell blames Silva for this sleepless saga, claiming it all kicked off after their pre-fight presser. “I’m not just fighting a man on April 12,” he said. “I’m fighting a man possessed by a legion of demons.” According to Mitchell, merely mentioning Jesus’ name turned Silva into a barking madman.
The video Mitchell posted stirred quite the buzz online. Silva took to Twitter to offer his own take on Bryce’s nocturnal struggles. “Bryce, two things,” Silva tweeted. “These are not demons; it’s just you being afraid to face me.”
Silva didn’t stop there. He threw in a jab about testosterone and told Mitchell to be ready for April 12th because he sure will be. Former UFC middleweight champ Sean Strickland chimed in with advice of his own: “Dawg, it’s a dream,” he wrote. “Go full send on the woman. It ain’t real.”
Outside of these bizarre dream antics, Mitchell and Silva’s bout at UFC 314 is shaping up to be quite the spectacle. It’s an opportunity for Mitchell to secure another win after defeating Kron Gracie. Meanwhile, Silva’s been making waves with four knockout victories since joining the UFC roster.
And so, as April 12th looms closer, both fighters prepare—not just for battle in the octagon but also for whatever else may come their way in the realm of dreams and reality alike.
