Bryce Mitchell...maybe?? He's not near the level of Chimaev in terms of skills, but if you look at some of the **** that guy has said I think it easily rivals anyone who is in the running for "dumbest ************ on the roster"

Neither i cant remember this caind of stupidity, and i'am a true fan for 21 years strait.... Yes i saw many stupid things on press conf. listening Tito, Tank Abbot and few other dumbass.... I saw Connor stilling belt and yes we all saw Chiesa vs Kevin, but nothing serious never occurs......Maybe Dena overreacted, but UFC today is in totally different buisnes than 10 y. ago and i understand this...... Everyone know this but Chimaev... Guy cant be controled and many stupid childish fans maybe like this caind of stupidity.... I'am not one of them. Iam also not some caind of offended snowflake, but weightcut days must be easy for everybodey. Is stressful enough cutting **** off.........

if Chimaev misses weight and Nate still pulls off the upset, it might end up being my favorite MMA moment of all time

I honestly think Bryce Mitchell gets too political/anti-science **** at times. I understand these fighters are literally allowed to do and say anything as long as it doesn't break any laws, but I feel like it's just a bad look for the UFC for media outlets to bash fighters for something they really know nothing about.

Athletes in every sport talk politics these days. It would probably be better if they didn't but that's the way it is. Does the NBA look worse when LeBron James spouts off about things he knows nothing about? Does the NFL look worse when Joe Burrow starts talking about Dobbs as if he understands substantive due process? Probably not, most people can separate individuals from an organization. If anything, I would think the UFC would be less susceptible to reputational damage because fighting is an individual sport. For that reason I don't mind the fighters saying whatever they want. They are their own brand.

Apparently ufc has a backup plan. Guess they knew he wasn’t making weight…

AyyLmaonnaise If that's the case, I wonder what that backup plan is. I mean, what could they possibly do?

I guess the move to Middleweight might be coming sooner rather than later.
