Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO Dana White denounced featherweight fighter Bryce Mitchell’s praise of Adolf Hitler and antisemitic remarks during a recent podcast appearance.
“I’ve heard a lot of dumb and ignorant s— said over the years, but this is probably the worst,” White said on Thursday. “First of all, when you talk about Hitler, he was responsible for the death of six million Jews and it was his intent to completely eliminate the Jewish people. And that’s a guy you would want to go fishing with?
“Hitler is one of the most disgusting and evil human beings to ever walk the Earth, and anyone that even tries to take an opposing position is a moron,” he added. “That’s the problem with the internet and social media. You provide a platform to a lot of dumb and ignorant people.”
Mitchell’s comments defending Hitler came earlier this week during the first episode of his “ArkanSanity” podcast, saying that the Nazi German dictator was a “good guy” who was defending his country. He defended Elon Musk, who was accused by some of making a Nazi salute earlier this month.
“Here’s what I say about [Elon Musk] heiling Hitler, heiling the Nazis: I really don’t think that he was, because I honestly think that Hitler was a good guy based upon my own research, not my public education indoctrination,” Mitchell said during the podcast episode.
“I really do think before Hitler got on meth, he was a guy I’d go fishing with. He fought for his country. He wanted to purify it by kicking the greedy Jews out that were destroying his country and turning them all into gays,’ Mitchell added. “They were gaying out the kids. They were queering out the women. They were queering out the dudes. Do you know where the first tranny surgery ever was? Happened to be in Germany before Hitler took over.”
White said that Mitchell will not face any disciplinary actions from the UFC over his comments.
“It’s free speech. That’s the beautiful thing about this business, for all of you who hate Bryce Mitchell, you get to see him hopefully get his ass whooped on global television,” White said.
Mitchell has a career 17-3 record. He won his last fight against Kron Gracie on Dec. 7, 2024.
