Mitchell on Emmett's knockout: "Everyone thought I was dead"

Bryce Mitchell revisited his stoppage loss to Josh Emmett at UFC 296. Bryce claims everyone close to him thought he was dead.

“Everyone I know thought I was dead. Everyone was crying. On the other hand, for me it was the easiest fight. Never before have I had a fight from which I came out in such a great mood. I woke up in an ambulance and barely remembered what happened. Nothing hurt me. But everyone cried and thought that I had died. And I’m not exaggerating,” said the fighter.

Let us remind you that Mitchell previously announced that he would most likely miss this year, recovering from the consequences of the knockout.
