In a highly anticipated UFC 314 match on Saturday night, Jean Silva dominated Bryce Mitchell, culminating in a spectacular ninja choke submission.
Despite a measured beginning, Silva found his rhythm, outstriking Mitchell and defending all takedown attempts. After a second-round knockdown, Silva maintained pressure, securing a tight ninja choke that forced Mitchell to tap out as he lost consciousness. The fight concluded at 3:52 of the second round.
Silva declared, “I’m the next champion!” and expressed surprise at Mitchell’s glove touch attempt, stating concern for Mitchell’s well-being.
Mitchell started with nervous energy and landed some kicks. Silva initially held back his power, but increased his offensive output towards the end of the first round, landing a spinning heel kick and a guillotine choke that troubled Mitchell before the round ended.
In the second round, Silva gained momentum, knocking Mitchell down with a powerful right hand. He opted to continue striking on the feet. Mitchell became more desperate with takedown attempts, easily thwarted by Silva. Silva`s superior speed and power allowed him to control the striking exchanges before he locked in the decisive ninja choke during another takedown attempt.
Mitchell`s attempt to escape only tightened the choke, leading to the submission. Silva`s victory at UFC 314, following his callout of Mitchell, reinforces his status as a formidable featherweight contender. He boasts a 5-0 UFC record, all wins by finish.
