Fighter’s Hitler comments ‘beyond disgusting’, says UFC boss White

Bryce Mitchell’s comments about Adolf Hitler have been criticized by UFC president Dana White as “beyond disgusting.”

Mitchell, a mixed martial artist for the Ultimate Fighting Championship, claimed that the German dictator was a “good guy” and that the Holocaust wasn’t real.

The 30-year-old American, ranked 13th in the featherweight division, made a range of antisemitic, homophobic and transphobic comments during the first episode of his podcast.

When we read what Bryce said, White said, “We immediately contacted him and explained our thoughts to him directly.”

He needs a genuine education about the facts surrounding Hitler and World War Two, he said, adding that what he said was beyond disgusting.

Despite White’s condemnation, Mitchell, who last fought in December, has as yet faced no further action for his comments.

White continued, “Anyone who even attempts to take a counterposition is a moron. Hitler is one of the most disgusting and evil people to ever walk the earth.”

“That’s the problem with the internet and social media. You give a lot of illiterates and dumb people a platform.

Mitchell has participated in the UFC promotion since 2018.

Canadian-American combat sports journalist Ariel Helwani, who is Jewish, said on X: “Each and every day MMA finds a way to reach a new low. a fresh way for both its fans and themselves to be embarrassed.
