Bryce Mitchell expresses satisfaction with bantamweight transition and success

Bryce Mitchell is pleased with his decision to drop to bantamweight, improving to 2-0 in the new weight class. Following his latest victory at UFC Fight Night 278, where he submitted Santiago Luna, Mitchell reflected on his past struggles at featherweight. He cited a loss to Jean Silva as the turning point that prompted his move. In bantamweight, he feels more evenly matched in size and sees better opportunities within the division. Mitchell believes he has found a better fit for his frame and fighting style at 135 pounds.
