MITCHELL SET TO MAKE HIS PROFESSIONAL DEBUT ON JANUARY 24
Jan 17, 2015 Comments
(PRESS RELEASE) -- 2014 Fighter of the Year, Bryce
Mitchell, has declared that he is now turning pro. Once he made
that decision, a multi fight deal was offered to him from V3Fights
and he jumped at the opportunity to sign with the promotion. His
professional debut, along with the first fight of his new
multi-fight deal, will be on January 24 against a very dangerous
opponent in Sheldon
Smith.
Mitchell dominated the opposition as an amateur and ended his amateur career as V3’s featherweight champion. He currently trains at BARATA MMA, but for four weeks, he spent his time in New York at the very prestigious LAW MMA Gym (Longo and Weidman) as well as Serra BJJ alongside fighters such as Al Iaquinta, Aljo Sterling, and UFC champion, Chris Weidman. “New York was great. I got to train with some awesome pro’s,” states Mitchell.
He is now home and training back at BARATA MMA under Arkansas
legend, Willie McGlothlin, and with teammates Wade
Johnson and Rudy McGlothlin who are also on the January 24
card. Standing in his way on January 24 is undefeated fighter,
Sheldon
Smith. This is not only a tough fight for his professional
debut, but Smith could very well be the toughest opponent Mitchell
has ever faced. When asked about this fight, here is what he had to
say:
“Sheldon Smith is amazingly athletic and from I’ve seen of him, he’s an impressive MMA fighter. I respect his striking and ground game. I need a hard fight like Sheldon because if I cannot beat the best guys, then I don’t want to be in this sport.”
