LAS VEGAS – Bryce Mitchell knows he needs to prove himself in the cage Saturday at UFC Fight Night 228 in order for it to be true, but he thinks his potential drawing power as it stands is untapped.
Ahead of his bout vs. Dan Ige (17-6 MMA, 9-5 UFC) at the UFC Apex, Mitchell (15-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) thinks his star potential is flying under the radar. There’s money to be made, Mitchell said, as he declared himself the biggest pay-per-view draw in the UFC featherweight division.
“I don’t think I’ll have to call out no names,” Mitchell told MMA Junkie and other reporters during a pre-fight news conference Wednesday. “I think there’s going to be a realization that I’m the cash cow. Eventually, somebody is going to realize they’re sitting on gold. They think I’m fools’ gold. I’m not. I’m real gold. They’re sitting on gold. They need to cash me out. I am in the cash cow. They’re ain’t another pay-per-view draw like me in this division. I am the cash cow. It’s time to cash me out.
