The confidence in that match against kapylov chilling

Dawg 👊🇲🇽🔥
This dudes a breath of fresh air
seems like dude recently discovered f word
The Mexican Bryce Mitchell 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I was introduced to Fluffy this past weekend at UFC 298 and man I like this dude.
The way this guy was smiling and moving his head when he was choking Kopylov was so damn scary. It was like "Yeah, this mtfk is going to sleep know" 🥶
I have bantams too Fluffy! Based!
Fluffy would probably get along great with Bryce Mitchell. Both seem to love farm animals and that lifestyle.
New character unlocked in the UFC roaster
dricus def got a chub hearing fluffy didnt hear about ariel
I wish he asked about the walk out song!!
Wow great interview.
Fluffy's the man
I've been a fan of Fluffy ever since he dismantled my boy Rodolfo Vieira… my jaw was on the floor after that fight and I was an instant fan (though I was definitely heart broken at the time LOL). I wish him all the best moving forward in his career!! Can't wait to see what he does this year.
This my boy I like his style gas out til they tap out
Dark horse of the division. He’s a savage ☠️
Dope I hope he touches gold
what a legend. fucken funny..
The crowd was so pumped when he won on Saturday
I bet against him last saturday. Now Im a huge fan
🇺🇸🇲🇽
Lol, it was his luck that he did not know who Rodolfo was, because he might have been more hesitant to grapple with him.
The sense of pride and inspiration I get from listening to this guy man
Was picking kopylov confidently and actually glad I was wrong , this dude just gained a whole lot of new fans from 298 like merab
Being at a beach house with friends for a getaway and seeing him on the prelims against Rodolfo and seeing the odds I said “welp, this guy is burnt toast” & he absolutely was for the first 3 min. Then everything after that went completely off the rails. When they said it was like 46-1 for him to win by submission I was astounded just by that fact and won over right there. Hope he goes on a run and raises some hell.
New fan here
This Dude vs Alskerov next in July?
This dude has now become one of my fav fighters
I love this man! Good interview we got a chance to know him learn of him. Great job 👏🏼 Ariel
New favorite fighter unlocked
Not enough stand up for me fluffy. Work on that stand up.
I wish his DDP fight didn’t get canceled
Fluffy is a beast
Anthony seems like a chill dude. I hope he get another big fight next.
I work around the area he lives at and grew up, pretty cool knowing that he made it to the ufc
