Bryce Mitchell’s KO victory over Kron Gracie

Bryce Mitchell turned the tables on Kron Gracie’s grappling strategy at UFC 310, delivering a highlight reel slam and a series of brutal elbows to score a third-round knockout victory.

In a matchup heavily influenced by grappling, Mitchell survived a second-round submission scare before capitalizing on Gracie’s relentless attempts to pull the fight to the ground. When Gracie tried to drag the action to the canvas once again in the third round, Mitchell countered with a slam followed by devastating elbow strikes, sealing the win just 39 seconds into the round.

The victory showcased Mitchell’s resilience and adaptability, as he later acknowledged the threat Gracie posed with his world-class submissions in his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan.
