Bryce Mitchell Bio

Bryce Mitchell is an American mixed martial artist from Arkansas who competes in the UFC under the nickname “Thug Nasty.” As of September 20, 2026, the UFC lists him as an active bantamweight. Mitchell was born on October 4, 1994, stands 5 feet 10 inches according to his UFC profile, and has a 70-inch reach. He is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt associated with Barata MMA.

Mitchell became widely known through Season 27 of The Ultimate Fighter, where he represented Team Cormier in the featherweight tournament. He advanced to the semifinals before losing to eventual tournament winner Brad Katona. Mitchell then made his official UFC debut at The Ultimate Fighter Finale on July 6, 2018, earning a majority decision over fellow cast member Tyler Diamond.

A submission-oriented grappler, Mitchell is known for persistent takedown pressure, positional control and creative attacks from dominant ground positions. His signature career milestone came against Matt Sayles in December 2019, when he completed only the second Twister submission in UFC history and received a performance bonus. After spending most of his UFC career at featherweight, he moved to bantamweight in 2025. His UFC profile records subsequent bantamweight victories over Said Nurmagomedov in July 2025 and Santiago Luna in June 2026.
