mmaBay: UFC, Bellator, MMA eBay collectible sales roundup (Sept. 24) with a spooky Bryce Mitchell connection to the number 23

Sports collectibles like trading cards, autographs and other memorabilia have been big business for decades. With MMA, it’s no different.

From signed Bellator gloves and UFC posters to fight-worn gear and an abundance of pricey trading cards, just about any MMA collectible fans are looking for has popped up for sale at some point.

Here’s a look at not only some of the priciest MMA collectibles sold on eBay in the past week, but some of the most fun and interesting, as well – including a Bryce Mitchell trading card that sold for 23 cents.

That leaves The Blue Corner wondering just what Mitchell’s connection is to the number 23. The earth’s axis, for example, is tilted at a 23-degree angle, which runs contrary to Mitchell’s assertion that the earth is flat. Or how about the fact Julius Caesar was stabbed 23 times when he was assassinated? What is Bryce Mitchell’s connection to that?

Then there is all the numerology connections. Mitchell was born in October 1994 – 10/94, and 10+9+4=23. He most recently fought 9-23-23 – and 9-23 is a known code by the writers of “The Simpsons” for years prior to when Mitchell chose to fight on that date. That dated code, now connected to Mitchell through his fight, has been rumored to be a signal to the liberal Hollywood elite from a show that often mocks organized religion. What is Mitchell hiding by fighting on that date?

He also has fought on Jan. 23, 2016, and won his fight, and March 23, 2019 – when he won and also got a $50,000 bonus, money that has been tied to the 23 numerology for more than four years. Mitchell has only fought in 6 different states in his MMA career: 2×3=6. And if that wasn’t all enough evidence, the total number of letters in “earth is round, gravity real” is … yup: 23.

You judge for yourself, but it’s certainly something to think about.

Trust no one.
