Bryce Mitchell Might Be the Best Underdog on the Card

Bryce Mitchell has made his reputation in the UFC on the back of his grappling prowess. He most recently finished an opponent by submission in 2019, where he pulled off his second finish by Twister submission. When Mitchell is able to take an opponent down to the mat, he thrives. His top control is suffocating, blending ground and pound with opportunistic and aggressive submission attempts. Critics of Bryce Mitchell argue that his submission threat has been overstated. Outside of his twister submission finishes, which did occur years ago, Bryce Mitchell hasn’t had many finishes in the UFC.

He had a bizarre knockout in 2023 over Kron Gracie when Gracie decided to jump guard and allowed Mitchell a free pass to unleash punches on him. Mitchell is not seen as much of a threat on his feet overall. His limitations and lack of comfort are glaring. His striking is stiff and predictable, leaving him vulnerable to dynamic strikers like Silva. However, if Mitchell is able to close the distance safely and stifle Silva’s offense, the +185 underdog could pull off the upset here for the UFC 314.

Jean Silva Could Be UFC’s Next Rising Star

Jean Silva has quickly become one of the UFC’s most electrifying top prospects. With an astonishing striking arsenal and a penchant for creating viral highlights, the Brazillian has bulldozed through the featherweight division. He is currently sitting at 15 wins and two losses with back-to-back performance of the night bonuses on his resume in his previous pair of fights. His confidence going into this UFC 314 matchup is also blatantly apparent.

Silva asked for this matchup, and UFC CEO Dana White happily obliged. The Vegas odds also reflect Silva’s momentum, having him hovering around a 2:1 favorite. He fights with the swagger of a fighter who believes he is destined for stardom and on the biggest card of the year so far, so in the UFC, he will have the chance to prove it. For betters, Silva certainly looks like the safe pick despite the stylistic complications that Bryce Mitchell could present.

Prediction for UFC 314

Silva’s striking advantage is undeniable. He’s faster, more diverse, and carries more fight-ending power. Mitchell’s lack of movement on his feet could turn him into an easy target against Silva’s laser-guided kicks and devastating punches. If Silva keeps this upright, another highlight-reel finish seems inevitable.
