Bryce Mitchell is set to face UFC BJJ Bantamweight champion Mikey Musumeci in a featherweight grappling main event at UFC BJJ 11 on Thurs., Sept. 24, 2026.
The non-title matchup will headline the card at Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, with Musumeci’s belt not on the line despite his 4-0 run in UFC BJJ, all by submission via three heel hooks and one foot lock.
Mitchell, known as "Thug Nasty," meets Musumeci, who carries the nickname "Darth Rigatoni," in one of the promotion’s most notable crossover grappling showcases to date.
In the co-main event, UFC BJJ Light Heavyweight champion Mason Fowler will defend his title against Nick Rodriguez.
Mitchell brings prior grappling experience into UFC BJJ 11, including appearances at EBI 25, where he defeated JJ Bowers by ride time before losing to Landon Elmore by heel hook. He also competed in grappling against former UFC opponent Jean Silva earlier in the year and is currently on a two-fight win streak in his UFC career since moving down to Bantamweight.
