Bryce Mitchell gives his thoughts on being vice president if Sean Strickland hypothetically becomes leader of free world
Bryce Mitchell would have no problems in accepting the post of vice president in a free world if Sean Strickland acted as his superior. The mutual appreciation between the two caused Mitchell to accept the post of Strickland's deputy.
Both Strickland and Mitchell have a reputation for voicing their opinions about various issues nonchalantly. Mitchell often preaches to fans about the 'Flat Earth' theory and also to build their lives on the principles mentioned in The Bible, while Strickland goes out guns blazing on a few social trends that he doesn't like.
A "free world" might have different meanings for Mitchell and Strickland. For Mitchell, it possibly means a world full of people whose lives are guided by The Bible. But to Strickland, it means a world free of untoward social practices like the LGBTQ movement and child abuse. Still, the strong connection between them is primarily due to their anti-establishment commentary.
In a recent interview with Fox Sports Australia, Mitchell got to know about Strickland's appreciation for him because of the primitive way of his life. 'Tarzan' initially elected himself as the President of a free world, but also awarded Mitchell with the post of his deputy.
"Bro, come on! I’m the President [of a free world], I’m a middleweight and I’m gonna fight for it. But, Bryce is a good dude, man. When you think of America, when you think of what the American man is, that’s Bryce. Hard worker, has a family, lives in the country. That is what the pinnacle of what America used to be."
'Thug Nasty' also reciprocated Strickland's compliments along with accepting the post of vice president in a free world with Strickland as its president. Mitchell said:
"I can't say enough good about Sean Strickland just how he treats everybody in the gym to how he carries himself... It is crazy to hear people thinking that highly of me when I think that highly of them... Oh! Hell yeah, dude [I would love to be the vice president of a free world with Strickland as the president]. You bet, there's so much that I would change in this country."

Bryce Mitchell remained unfazed even after being fist-targeted by his UFC 310 rival
Bryce Mitchell will take to the octagon after a few more hours for his UFC 310 fight against Kron Gracie. Mitchell's Brazilian rival adopted a Nate Diaz-like posture for the pre-fight face-offs by extending his arms and holding one of his fists to his rival's chin.
Diaz had struck this pose for his UFC 196 face-off against Conor McGregor, which ended in complete chaos.
But Mitchell showcased his stoic nature by staying unperturbed by his rival's actions. He also wanted to shake Gracie's hand even after this, but eventually got a pat on the back from his rival.
