Should the UFC Cut Bryce Mitchell? Conor McGregor’s Latest Rant Explored

In the latest installment of Ariel Helwani’s show, Petesy Carroll teamed up with Ben Fowlkes and Chuck Mindenhall to dissect two hot-button topics: the future of Bryce Mitchell in the UFC and the recent social media tirade by Conor McGregor. Mitchell, widely known for his eccentric persona and grappling-heavy style, has found himself mired in controversy yet again. The panel explored whether the promotional powerhouse should consider cutting him or if his unorthodox performances are still valuable to the UFC’s featherweight roster.

Meanwhile, McGregor’s latest rant took center stage, fueling speculation about his next move inside the Octagon. Despite the ups and downs of his career, the Irish superstar continues to generate massive headlines with every tweet and Instagram post. Carroll, Fowlkes, and Mindenhall broke down the potential impact this could have on both his public image and his future matchups.

The conversation also touched on the delicate balance the UFC must maintain: promoting fighters who spark interest while avoiding negative press that could overshadow the sport’s competitive spirit. Mitchell’s predicament underscores the fine line between hype and distraction, and McGregor’s social media antics raise questions about how much power a fighter truly holds outside of fight night.
