UFC BJJ 11 Mikey Musumeci Bryce Mitchell jiu-jitsu MMA

At UFC BJJ 11 in Las Vegas, Bryce Mitchell secured a decision victory over Mikey Musumeci in a crossover main event. The match featured special rules that prohibited leg locks, Musumeci's signature technique. Despite Musumeci's dominance in grappling and multiple deep submission attempts, including an anaconda choke and an armbar, Mitchell successfully defended and survived to the final bell.

During the contest, Mitchell received a warning from referee Vitor Ribeiro after executing a large slam. Following the match, Mitchell described himself as being in “survival mode,” while Musumeci expressed his intention to transition toward full-time MMA competition.

In the preliminary bouts, Jay Rodriguez defeated Kevin Beuhring via submission in the second round. Rodriguez, a veteran middleweight, secured the tap at 2:54 of the second frame, improving his professional record to 21-5.
