UFC featherweight contender Bryce Mitchell expects to make a mockery of the betting odds for his upcoming showdown with Jean Silva.

After going 2-2 across his last four fights, Mitchell has the chance to return to a winning streak this weekend when he squares off with Silva on the main card of the UFC 314 pay-per-view in Miami, Florida.

Plenty are expecting that to be an uphill task for "Thug Nasty," however.

The controversial American is currently a +215 underdog on DraftKings, a betting line that Mitchell is excited to prove wrong come fight night inside the Kaseya Center.

I believe so," Bryce Mitchell said when asked by Mike Bohn at UFC 314 media day whether he's being unfairly discounted. "This is a great time for all my friends to bet and make a tremendous amount of money off of me.

Go ahead and bet the farm. This is the best odds I've had," Mitchell added.

In Jean Silva, Bryce Mitchell is coming up against one of the standout members of the surging Fighting Nerds team. The Brazilian has won 12 fights on the bounce, including four consecutive knockouts in the UFC.
