Jean Silva isn’t buying Bryce Mitchell’s spooky stories as they gear up for UFC 314 on April 12, 2025, in Miami. After Mitchell posted a video on March 17, 2025, claiming demons are haunting his dreams, Silva clapped back on X with a sharp reply. The Brazilian knockout king thinks Mitchell’s just scared to face him, not battling some evil spirits. Their featherweight scrap at Kaseya Center is already buzzing, and Silva’s words are turning up the heat.
Silva’s Simple Take
Mitchell’s been saying since their March 7 press conference in Las Vegas that demons attack him every night and tempt him with women. Silva’s got a different view. “
Bryce, two things, these are not demons, it’s just you being afraid to face me and second about the beautiful women you have a hormone called testosterone and you probably have problems with it,” Silva wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Just be ready for April 12th, because I will be.”
He’s brushing off the demon talk as fear and guy stuff, promising to bring the fight anyway.

This all kicked off when Silva and Mitchell faced off in Vegas. Silva showed up with a globe to mock Mitchell’s flat Earth rants, getting the crowd to chant against him. Mitchell took it hard, saying Silva’s possessed and those demons are why he can’t sleep. Silva’s not sweating it. He figures Mitchell’s mind is playing tricks because he knows what’s coming in the cage.
Jean Silva, 28, comes from Brazil with a perfect 17 and 0 record. He’s 4 and 0 in UFC, all knockouts, including a quick finish over Melsik Baghdasaryan in February 2025 at UFC Fight Night 237. He’s on a roll and favored to steamroll Mitchell in Miami.
Bryce Mitchell, 30, hails from Arkansas with a 17 and 2 record. He’s 8 and 2 in UFC, fresh off knocking out Kron Gracie in December 2024 at UFC 310. He’s known for wild stuff like flat Earth talk and now these demon dreams.
UFC 314 is a big deal, with Silva and Mitchell set to throw down in the featherweight division. Silva’s ready to keep his streak alive, while Mitchell’s leaning on faith to pull through. After Sean Strickland told Bryce to try therapy, Silva’s doubling down, keeping it real and simple.
