Bryce Mitchell sinks in ultra-rare TWISTER submission at UFC DC UFC featherweight Bryce Mitchell landed just the second 'Twister' submission in UFC history at the organization's event in Washington DC on Saturday as he extended his undefeated run to an impressive 12-0.

A Venezuelan opposition activist said they attacked her when they were delivering food to people who took cover in the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington DC trying to prevent supporters of US-backed self-proclaimed president Juan Guaido from taking over the place. The journalist says the ...
