Mitchell is a native of Arkansas, and is very well recognized in the feather category. Nicknamed Thug Nasty, the southpaw jiujitsu black belt has just one blemish on his record, a 2018 loss by submission to Brad Katona in the semifinals of The Ultimate Fighter.
The following year he joined the UFC and knew only victory: he dispatched Bobby Moffett, Matt Sayles, Charles Rosa, Andre Fili, and Edson Barboza in a row. However, in UFC he has not shown much power and the vast majority of his wins were on the cards.
Ilia Topuria
- Odds: -157
- Record: 12-0-0
- Age: 25
- Height: 1.70 m
- Weight: 70 kg
- Reach: 175 cm
Of Georgian origin and born in Germany, Topuria, 25, arrived in Spain at the age of 15. Despite his origins, the wrestler feels an immense affection for Spain, the country that has seen him grow up and where he discovered the sport that has become his passion.
Topuria is ranked 14th in the featherweight division and is looking for glory on the strength of his 12-fight undefeated record. In his last fight, he knocked out Jai Herbert in the second round. The bout against Mitchell went his way because the man who was to take his place in the octagon, Movsar Evloev, was injured. Offered to hop on, Topuria didn’t hesitate: “You’re a dead man walking, buddy. I’ll be quick,” was the message he sent to Mitchell.
