UFC featherweight Bryce Mitchell told a jaw-dropping story in an April 2025 interview with The MMA Guru. The 30-year-old from Arkansas described dating a witch in his mid-20s, an ordeal that turned him from an atheist to a Christian.
“I didn’t actually come to Christ until I was like 25, 26 maybe,” Mitchell said. “I was living a life of sexual pervertedness and I started dating a witch, like a spell-casting witch. It was a literal witch.” He didn’t buy it at first.
“I didn’t believe in witchcraft, so when I seen her reading witchcraft books I would ask her, ‘Why do you read this witchcraft books?’ I always thought it was weird. Even though I was an atheist at the time, I never dabbled in witchcraft because that sht always freaked me out. Darkness and weird, blackness and darkness and all that weird paint on the face and the eyes and the black nails and the weird hair and all the weirdness that comes with that weird sht,” he added.
She insisted her magic was harmless.
“She said, ‘I only do good magic. I don’t ever do bad magic. I only do white magic,’” Mitchell recalled, staying with her despite thinking she was odd. Then it got scary.
“She became fully possessed one day by demons. She was not speaking English. She was destroying my home. She punched out a window and her blood was all running down her arm and her shoulder. She started killing my tomato plants. I grabbed her and threw her away from my garden and said, ‘Don’t touch my tomato plants,’” he said.
A Fight for Control
Her threats went wild.
“She said, ‘Go ahead and call the law. I want you to call the law because when they get here I’m going to tell them that you stabbed me and I’m going to stab myself and I’m going to make it look like you stabbed me. I’ll sue you for everything. You’ll never fight in the UFC. You’ll never have a sponsorship. I’m going to take this farm from you and you’re going to rot in prison for the rest of your life you piece of sh*t. I hate you,’” Mitchell recounted.
That’s when he acted.
“I said, ‘Demons are real. I’m looking at a demon’ and then I said, ‘In the name of Jesus Christ I command all evil to leave this household.’ She stopped talking. She walked to me, did an upside down cross, touched me with it and said, ‘You’ll lose every fight for the rest of your life and all of your children will die.’ Then she left. I never spoke to her again,” he finished.
Now living on his Arkansas farm with his faith strong, Mitchell holds a 17-2 record. He’s gone 2-2 in his last four fights, recently beating Kron Gracie by knockout on December 7, 2024, at UFC 310.
