UFC 310 saw its fair share of hiccups compared to other events in recent times. Some hiccups included Belal Muhammad pulling out, the UFC controversially putting Aljamain Sterling on the prelims and Ian Garry having his shorts torn. On the bright side, fans got to witness another memorable octagon interview featuring controversial UFC star Bryce Mitchell, with Joe Rogan holding the microphone.

‘Thug Nasty’ and Rogan have a complicated relationship. The UFC fighter once labeled the JRE host as ‘stupid’ for harboring different viewpoints. It looks like the 30-year-old fighter has made amends for bad-mouthing UFC icon after his victory. Bryce Mitchell opened up and offered heartfelt apologies to Rogan, hoping to make amends for past comments.

After my last fight, you showed so much generosity towards me. I was knocked out, and you were the only person in the arena that cared about me getting to doctors. I love you with all my heart for that. I also called you stupid before because of something you said and you know, you’re not stupid, I know you’re not stupid and I wanted to apologies to your face like a man and tell you; I love you.

Mitchell became the first man to knockout Kron Gracie in his career, handing him his third loss in a row. The 30-year-old fighter has found his way back to the win column after suffering a devastating KO loss in 2023. Ranked in the top 15 of featherweight division, Mitchell can look towards more favorable grappling heavy match-ups in Aljamain Sterling, Brian Ortega, and more.
