“Thug Nasty” is supremely confident.

No. 13 ranked Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Featherweight Bryce Mitchell returns to action against red-hot Brazilian madman Jean Silva at UFC 314 this weekend from inside Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida.

And though the initial betting odds were sky-high, Mitchell remains a steep underdog against “Lord.” Undeterred, he’s urging everyone to wager big—bet the house, or in his world, the farm—on his victory.
