Bryce Mitchell's UFC Vegas 64 and Ilia Topuria's UFC Vegas 63 bouts came under jeopardy after their opponents dropped out of the contest owing to injuries.

However, in a recent tweet, 'El Matador' seemingly offered to step up as 'Thug Nasty's' opponent for the November 5 event by posting a picture of his abs and tagging Mitchell in the same.

In a video uploaded to his Instagram, the American responded to the Georgian native's callout by saying that no amount of abs in the world was going to save him from the beating 'Thug Nasty' was going to put on him:

Both Bryce Mitchell and 'El Matador' are undefeated in their pro-mixed martial arts careers. Mitchell was last seen at UFC 272, where he triumphed over Edson Barboza via unanimous decision and took his record to 15-0. Topuria is currently 12-0 as a professional. His latest win came against Jai Herbert at UFC Fight Night 204 via a second-round KO in what was his lightweight debut.

Per a report by The MMA Media, a matchup between the two undefeated featherweights has been slated for UFC Vegas 64.

In a recent video uploaded to his Twitter handle, No. 9 ranked featherweight contender Bryce Mitchell went hard on Movasr Evolev for withdrawing from their scheduled main event at UFC Vegas 64.

A clearly distraught 'Thug Nasty' stated that he had been facing constant harassment online from Evloev in the leadup to their fight:

According to a report by MMA Junkie, the Russian was forced out of the event due to an injury. Ilia Topuria will now reportedly serve as Bryce Mitchell's opponent for the event.
