Bryce Mitchell and Jean Silva settled their bitter rivalry in the Octagon on Saturday night.

Earlier this week, the featherweight duo stole the show during the UFC 314 pre-fight press conference.

Bryce Mitchell cracked up fans with his hilarious response to his opponent threatening to retire him.

The first round was close and competitive on the feet. Silva seemed intent on showboating and trash-talking, annoying the UFC commentators and fans inside the 19,500-capacity arena.

Silva landed a spinning back kick before locking up a guillotine choke when he started to get serious about finishing the fight as the first five minutes came to a close.

The Fighting Nerd scored an early knockdown in the second stanza before shrugging off several grappling attempts from his submission specialist opponent.

In the end, he locked up a choke of his own and forced Mitchell to tap out for the second time in his 20-fight MMA run.

However, Mitchell’s tap came too late, and he was left unconscious on the UFC Octagon floor.

Silva stood over his rival and barked at him before wheeling away to celebrate a career-best win.

Silva offered to touch gloves at the start of both rounds, but Mitchell had no interest in doing that.

During his post-fight interview, the 16-2 Brazilian fighter was asked if he was surprised by that.

“I’m sad for him,” Silva told Joe Rogan.

“You know what? I hope you all pray and help out Bryce Mitchell because I don’t think he’s right in the head.

“I mean, that’s a part of him, and there’s something wrong for him to be like that.”
