UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell says he used his freestyle skills on animals.

Mitchell enjoys hunting, and claims On the OverDogs podcast having once strangled a deer to death.

The American had to resort to his own hands when the sight of his hunting bow came off in the woods.

– I just wanted to get venison. I love it, Mitchell justified his decision.

The matchmaker sneaked up to the deer while it was sleeping. He had left his ax in the stall, so he thought strangulation was the only way to kill the animal.

– I took the gloves off before we started wrestling. I thought, damn it, I’m doing this.

– I wrapped my left hand around the deer’s neck and strangled it to death. The deer was spinning on the ground in a circle because I couldn’t get its hind legs under control.

– When I let go, all the air came out of its lungs. That was the last sound it made, Mitchell said.

Podcast hosts and guests were skeptical of Mitchell’s story. It is difficult to approach deer without them noticing. The competitor’s trainer also suspected that he had first shot the deer and only then strangled it.
