Gets right back in win column
Mitchell defeated Dan Ige via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Like most every other Mitchell fight, it was an ugly, grinding affair in which his elite grappling game helped him secure the victory. Bryce was battered on the feet by Ige, eventually causing a nasty cut above his eye, but he battled through on the strength of five successful takedowns. Those five tries resulted in 7:33 worth of control time. Mitchell's struggles on the feet seem likely to cost him sooner rather than late, especially when he starts to step into the Octagon with the best around at 145 pounds, but Bryce's wrestling game is a legitimate difference-maker. Mitchell improves to 7-1 in his first eight UFC bouts.

New opponent found
Mitchell will fight Movsar Evloev in a featherweight bout at UFC 288 on May 6 in Newark, according to Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
This is the second time a Mitchell-Evloev fight has been scheduled. The first was prior to UFC Fight Night 214, which Evloev withdrew from because of an undisclosed injury. That event ended up being when Mitchell last fought and suffered his first loss, via submission (arm-triangle choke) by Ilia Topuria. But currently, the Topuria defeat is Mitchell's only blemish across his seven-fight UFC career.
