UFC star Bryce Mitchell set for grappling match with Israeli LFA star Ilay Barzilay at Karate Combat

UFC featherweight contender, Bryce Mitchell is set to make his return to combat sports later this year — under the banner of Karate Combat, taking on LFA prospect, Israeli finisher, Ilay Barzilay in a pit submission clash matchup later this month.

Mitchell, the current number thirteen ranked divisional contender at the featherweight limit in the UFC, is set to feature for the first time in combat sports since his deplorable pro-Adolf Hitler comments and antisemitic tirade during an appearance on his podcast at the beginning of this month.

And going unpunished for his comments, Mitchell remains under contract with the UFC — with promotional boss, Dana White confirming he would not punish the Arkansas native for his comments — citing “free speech” as the main reason why.
