LAS VEGAS – Thanks to Bryce Mitchell, homeless and sick children in his home state of Arkansas will receive a large sum of money. But the ball won’t stop at UFC 272.
Following his dominant win Saturday over Edson Barboza, Mitchell (15-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) announced intentions to donate half of his purse ($45,000) to charity. His boss, however, was moved enough to tell Mitchell he instead will donate the sum.
“Dana White came up to me after the fight and he said, ‘Don’t give your money. I’m going to give the $45,000,'” Mitchell told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a post-fight news conference. “I’m still going to give some money. He told me. He said, ‘Don’t give any of your money. It’s going to be mine and I’m going to take care of it.’
