The CEO of the UFC, Dana White, is a question of freedom of expression, but even he could not look at a series of offensive comments that Bryce Mitchell made the featherweight of the UFC this week. In the first episode of his podcast, Mitchell said that Adolf Hitler was a good guy and denied that the Holocaust had taken place.
White has not lost time to avoid Verbally Mitchell for what he said.
“I heard a lot of stupid and ignorant shit over the years, but it’s probably the worst,” said White While addressing the media on Thursday in Saudi Arabia. “First of all, when you talk about Hitler, he was responsible for the death of six million Jews and it was his intention to completely eliminate the Jewish people. And he is a guy with whom you would like to go fishing ?
“Secondly, Hitler is one of the most disgusting human beings and the worst to have ever worked on earth, and whoever tries to take an opposite position is a moron. It is the problem with the Internet and the social media .
“We contacted Bryce immediately when we read what he said and let him know exactly what we thought. But what he said was beyond disgusting, and he needs real education on The facts surrounding Hitler and the Second World War. “
While White was quick to condemn Mitchell’s words, White said that the featherweight will not face any punishment for her comments – just like White’s position on the comments of MMA fighters over the years.
“This is the beautiful thing about this business. For all of you who hate Bryce Mitchell, you can see it, hope it, have her ass on world television,” said White. “What do you want me to say about it? You know where I am with freedom of expression. We are disgusted. I think he is literally one of the most stupid human beings.
“Let us not forget that it was a guy who took an exercise through his dost, then had to reverse him and remove the exercise. This is the stupid level we are talking about. I could probably continue for 10 minutes to talk about how stupid Bryce Mitchell is, but do you guess?
“This is the world in which we live now. Stupid people, people who are really stupid and really ignorant can have a voice. We do not have to agree with that. We do not have the ‘to like.
“I give you mine and the position of the UFC on what he had to say. And it is not different from the things I said about (Sean) Strickland, but I will say this: Of all the stupid and ignorant shit I heard in my life, it must be the most stupid and the most ignorant.
Mitchell is 17-2 as a pro and 8-2 in UFC. He came out of a TKO victory over Kron Gracie in December, which was his first fight since his devastating defeat against Josh Emmett in December 2023.
