Mitchell Claims Demonic Dreams in UFC 314 Lead-Up

UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell claims he has been experiencing 'demonic dreams' as a result of mental warfare purportedly initiated by his upcoming opponent, Jean Silva, ahead of their fight at UFC 314 on April 12, 2025. Mitchell, who has attracted controversy for past comments defending Adolf Hitler, believes the dreams are a spiritual attack exploiting his weaknesses of anger and lust. He has sought prayers from the Christian community to combat these nightmares, asserting that their prayers have brought him peace. Silva, dismissing Mitchell's claims as fear-induced, sarcastically attributed Mitchell's visions to fear and hormonal issues, challenging him to be prepared for their fight. The situation has sparked widespread conversation and mixed reactions within the MMA community. Sean Strickland, another UFC fighter, humorously commented that Mitchell should embrace the dreams, as they are not real.
