Scrotum injury survivor Bryce Mitchell offers fitting 4th of July safety advice

While Bryce Mitchell is well versed in what to do inside the cage, he’s also an expert at what not to do outside of it.

Last year, the UFC featherweight suffered a gruesome injury after his power drill became tangled in his scrotum. Mitchell hasn’t shied away from sharing his traumatic experience with the world, often speaking on the subject with grotesque details.

On Thursday (Independence Day), Mitchell decided to share some key 4th of July advice on Twitter that is all too fitting given what he went through.

Happy 4th don’t blow your nuts off shootin fireworks 🧨

Despite his popularity, Mitchell, 24, has competed just twice in the UFC. In his debut bout, Mitchell defeated fellow “The Ultimate Fighter 27” cast member Tyler Diamond via three-round majority decision. In his sophomore outing, Mitchell edged Dana White’s Contender Series veteran Bobby Moffett by unanimous decision.
