Kron Gracie is set to make a comeback at UFC 310 after almost 2 years, facing Bryce Mitchell on the main card, a matchup that has surprised many.
Gracie aims to break a losing streak when he takes on a top-15 featherweight in Las Vegas. His previous fight, a loss to Charles Jourdain, raised doubts about his main card placement, especially compared to other fights that could determine future title contenders.
Gracie mentions that he had no say in the fight’s positioning and has a message for fans unhappy with the UFC’s decisions.
Gracie finds it amusing that critics who likely watch for free complain about fight placements. He doesn’t see the fuss and is focused on his performance rather than his spot on the card.
He believes the earlier his fight, the better, to move on afterward.
In his debut, Gracie submitted Alex Caceres but suffered losses afterward, including against Jourdain.
Facing Mitchell, Gracie sees the hype around Mitchell adding excitement to their matchup.
He trusts the UFC’s matchmaking expertise and considers Bryce a worthy opponent.
After reflecting on his last fight, Gracie admits to following poor advice and not being himself in the octagon.
He is eager to get back to his winning ways and learn from past mistakes.
Personal matters delayed his return, but he is determined to show his true potential in this upcoming fight.
Gracie emphasizes the importance of being prepared for anything in the fight business and appreciates the gravity of the sport.
Despite Mitchell’s past knockout, Gracie respects him as a worthy adversary and is prepared for a tough battle.
He acknowledges Mitchell’s grappling skills, which may present a different challenge from his previous fights.
Gracie is looking forward to a competitive match, recognizing that the higher the quality of the fighters, the more engaging the fight can be.
