Jon Anik doesn’t think the betting odds accurately reflect the Bryce Mitchell vs. Jean Silva matchup.
Mitchell (17-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) is a moderate underdog against rising featherweight contender Silva (15-2 MMA, 4-0 UFC) on Saturday’s UFC 314 main card at Kaseya Center in Miami.
Mitchell turned plenty of fans against him after making controversial pro-Adolf Hitler comments, which Silva fully capitalized on during the UFC 314 pre-fight press conference last month. But Anik said people seem to forget Mitchell’s strength of schedule in the UFC, which includes wins over Edson Barboza and Dan Ige.
