“I was watching the fight to study. When I saw how bad the knockout was, I watched everything, I watched what they did to me afterwards and I was talking, shaking hands and staggering. Dude, they need to escort me out of there immediately. I really think this needs to be protocol, but because from my point of view, I can't remember anything. Let's say I get knocked out again, I'd rather they get me out of there as quickly as possible once I'm back on my feet. And I talk about holding myself under the armpits and not even talking to me. Just get me out of there as quickly as possible. (…) I'm glad they got me out of there, and that's how they need to do it, because fighters can trip, fall and hurt their heads even more,” said Mitchell.
Tenth placed in the featherweight rankings, Mitchell is going through a delicate moment with two defeats in his last three fights. The American boasts an MMA record of 16 wins and two setbacks.
