  "account": "Bryce Mitchell, scheduled to face Mike Musumeci at UFC BJJ 11, is not seeking a UFC BJJ moral victory or a participation trophy. The featherweight bout will not carry title implications. Despite being smaller, Mitchell remains determined to secure a victory. He expressed, \"I don't want to go to distance, I want him to tap, so it's very decisive, and I want people to know I'm not a joke.\" Mitchell sees this fight as significant, even likening it to a UFC fight, preparing similarly and cutting weight as if it were a championship bout. His ultimate goal is to earn a UFC belt and be recognized as a top jiu-jitsu competitor.",
