Bryce Mitchell, a pro UFC fighter with a 16-1 professional MMA record is among the top 10 in the promotion’s featherweight division. Interestingly, it appears that his combat abilities are not just confined to the octagon – they’ve also been tested against other things like wild animals. In particular, a deer.
In a recent episode of the “Overdogs Podcast”, Mitchell verified that the circulating rumors about him choking a deer are true He told:
That happened. Not like the biggest doe ever, but definitely not a small one.
I was hunting with a crossbow and I had my scope electrical taped on there.
I guess when I got out to the woods the tape wiggled loose and I was shooting and missing.
I’m not kidding while siting here. I choked deer because my scope was taped on.
He continued:
I called the doe in for like two and a half hours.
It fell asleep and I took a shot. And I missed.
I just climbed down the deer stand and I said I’m going to try to get my hands on it.
I waited till it went back to sleep and I went real quiet down the deer stand and I was, like: “F*ck it, I’m going to do it.”
Before I slid the choke in I texted my coach and I told him to help.
Slid my left arm in and I proceeded to choke it to death.
I texted my instructor before implementing choke and asked for his help.
Before I slid the choke in I texted my coach and I told him to help.
