Despite his absurd comments, Ultimate Fighting Championship 145-pound contender Bryce Mitchell will still be on the roster going forward.
on Friday, the Arkansan went on a tangent about Adolf Hitler and Germany in the early 1900s during a discussion of Elon Musk’s salute some considered reminiscent of a Nazi salute. His comments ranged from praising Hitler to complete Holocaust denial. Since then, UFC chief Dana White weighed in on what Mitchell had to say, and explained that Mitchell will face no punishment from his organization due to “free speech.
“When he got on meth and he turned on Russia, I believe that’s when he kind of went full nutty. And I don’t think that he was just like, the best dude ever. And when I say I’d go fishing with him, I’m not saying he was the most trustworthy dude or I love him or whatever, but at some point in Hitler’s life, I don’t think he was that bad of a guy. I really don’t. And now was Hitler perfect? No. But he was fighting people, and he wanted a pure nation.
It did not take long for what Mitchell proclaimed on the inaugural episode of his podcast to reach the ears of the UFC brass. The promotion elected to put out a statement through White, with White more than happy to repeatedly call his fighter “dumb” and “stupid.”, “ said probably…I’ve heard a lot of dumb, ignorant s--t in my day, but this one’s probably the worst.
