Jon Anik isn’t too sure about Bryce Mitchell vs. Jean Silva odds heading into UFC 314

Jon Anik does n&#8217, t consider the betting odds accurately reflect the Bryce Mitchell vs. Jean Silva game.

Mitchell ( 17-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) is a moderate underdog against rising featherweight contender Silva ( 15-2 MMA, 4-0 UFC) on Saturday &#8217, s UFC 314 main card at Kaseya Center in Miami.

Mitchell turned lots of followers against him after making questionable pro-Adolf Hitler feedback, which Silva entirely capitalized on during the UFC 314 pre-fight media conference last quarter. But Anik said people seem to forget Mitchell&#8217, s power of schedule in the UFC, which includes wins over Edson Barboza and Dan Ige.

&#8220, Whether he&#8217, s lifting weights in blue trousers and boots or not even wearing any clothes, he&#8217, s putting in the job, &#8221, Anik told MMA Junkie of Mitchell. &#8220, He&#8217, s one of the hardest staff in the game. You &#8217, d often seen him come to great lengths to go and train with high quality education partners. I really think Bryce Mitchell&#8217, s devotion in sum to martial arts is what gets lost in all of this. I don&#8217, t have to tell you about his earth fighting achievements. Excellent distribution guy, a really great floor striker. He has soul, he has toughness, fight IQ, strength.

&#8220, He&#8217, s got a little of various items. The betting line may indicate to you, with Jean Silva at -325, that he&#8217, s going to need every bit of them to come through as a + 260 opponent, but I do believe based upon the tale and some of what he has said, we are losing sight of just the mixed martial arts game. You can count me among the surprised, despite The Fighting Nerds success and Jean Silva&#8217, s ability to in all phases and his death-touch power, -325 against a guy as tried and tested in the UFC as Mitchell? I just don&#8217, t see. &#8221,

Silva has kicked off his octagon tenure with four stoppage victories, most recently a first-round Performance of the Night TKO over Melsik Baghdasaryan at UFC Fight Night 252 in February. He called out Mitchell after the win and got his wish.
