In this article, we have the honor of interviewing Bryce Mitchell, the number 10th ranked UFC featherweight in the world. Bryce Mitchell, also known as Thug Nasty, is a multi-talented individual who excels in various fields such as fighting, farming, and rapping. We discuss his upcoming fight, his recovery methods, and his aspirations for the future. Bryce Mitchell is a true warrior who is determined to make history in the UFC.

Recovery Methods and the Future of Healing

Bryce Mitchell believes that recovery is crucial for fighters and predicts that future generations will view this era as the “Dark Ages” of fighting. He highlights five key recovery methods that he considers essential: hyperbaric chambers, cryotherapy, electric therapy, physical therapy, and massage. He explains that hyperbaric chambers provide a 4 PSI environment, which is beneficial for the brain and joints. Bryce believes that hyperbaric chambers have the potential to cure cancer and regenerate the body. He also mentions the importance of cryotherapy, but emphasizes that ice baths are superior for recovery. Bryce further discusses the benefits of electric therapy, which helps with muscle recovery, and physical therapy, which includes stretching and massage. He believes that these recovery methods will revolutionize the way fighters approach their training and healing processes.

Ice Baths vs. Cryotherapy Chambers

Bryce expresses his preference for ice baths over cryotherapy chambers. He humorously states that cryotherapy is for people who are afraid of sitting in ice water. While he acknowledges that cryotherapy is not necessarily bad for you, he believes that ice baths provide better results. He compares cryotherapy to grilling chicken on high heat, while ice baths are like slow cooking chicken to the bone. Bryce emphasizes the importance of fully cooking the chicken, or in this case, fully recovering the body.

Steam Room vs. Sauna

When asked about his preference between a steam room and a sauna, Bryce reveals that he doesn’t particularly like either. He explains that in steam rooms and saunas, it’s difficult to breathe in cool air, which can make the lungs and brain feel hot. Instead, he prefers hot tubs because they allow for breathing in cool air. Bryce also suggests placing a bag of ice on the head while in a sauna or steam room to keep the brain cool and prolong the benefits of the heat therapy.

The Importance of the Fight

Bryce discusses the significance of his upcoming fight against Dan Ige. He mentions that this fight is not only important for his ranking in the division but also for his own psyche. Bryce had to pull out of his last fight due to illness and has been dealing with back injuries. Additionally, he suffered his first professional loss to Andre Fili. This fight is an opportunity for Bryce to prove himself and overcome the challenges he has faced. He confidently states that something special will happen in this fight, without revealing any details.

Dealing with Adversity and Spiritual Battle

Bryce opens up about the challenges he has faced, including illness, back injuries, and his first professional loss. He acknowledges that the devil has been trying to tear him down and test his faith. However, Bryce remains steadfast in his belief that God will bless him and that his hard work will be rewarded. He compares his journey to that of Job from the Bible, stating that every time the devil strikes, his faith grows stronger. Bryce is determined to overcome these obstacles and make history in the UFC.

The Devil’s Influence

Bryce mentions that the devil has been working in various ways to try to hinder his progress. He even shares a personal experience where his ex-girlfriend caused trouble for him. Despite these challenges, Bryce remains focused on his spiritual battle and believes that God will ultimately bless him for his perseverance.

Motivation and Future Plans

Bryce finds motivation in the positive impact he can make for his family and his farm after this fight. He believes that this fight will change his life and allow him to pay off debts and progress in his personal life. Bryce mentions that he has built a house and plans to use the money from this fight to finish it. He looks forward to having a comfortable home and being able to provide for his loved ones.

Aspirations for the Championship

When asked about the current champion in his division, Alexander Volkanovski, Bryce expresses his desire to fight him for the title.
