Bryce Mitchell: 'I don't believe in seatbelts'
UFC featherweight Bryce Mitchell definitely marches to the beat of his own drum. The outspoken Mitchell often weighs in on controversial topics and provides his unconventional opinions.
During the UFC 310 Media Day on Wednesday, Mitchell took aim at the requirement to wear seatbelts. His complaints had less to do with the safety of seatbelts and more to do with a government mandating that an individual is required to wear one by law.
"Seatbelts, I think it's just like you get to choose if you want to wear a seatbelt. The government, they don't wipe my ass for me and they shouldn't be able to tell me if I want to wear a seatbelt," Mitchell said.
"I personally don't like them because I think, what if you've got to jump out of the car and roll, duck and roll. Nobody ever thinks about that," Mitchell continued. "I don't personally wear a seatbelt, but I grew up - my mom never wore one - I just don't believe in them. It's not up to the government to decide whether I wear a seatbelt or not. That's just my view on it.
