UFC President Dana White criticizes Fighter Bryce Mitchell’s praise for Hitler | UFC

UFC president and CEO Dana White criticized Bryce Mitchell for making anti-Semitic and homophobic comments on a podcast where the feather weight also praised Adolf Hitler and refused the Holocaust.

But with reference to freedom of speech, White said the organization would not take any disciplinary acts against Mitchell.

“I’ve heard a lot of mute and ignorant shit said over the years, but this is probably the worst,” White said in a statement released by the UFC. “First of all, when you talk about Hitler, he was responsible for the death of 6 million Jews, and it was his intention to completely remove the Jewish people.”

White said UFC let Mitchell know what he said was unacceptable.

“Hitler is one of the most disgusting and evil people who ever go on earth, and anyone who even tries to take an opposite position is an idiot,” White said. “That’s the problem with the Internet and social media. You give a platform to a lot of mute and ignorant people. “

Mitchell, competing in the Featherweight division of MMA’s greatest promotion, made the comments on the first episode of his Arkansanity podcast, suggesting that Hitler be a “good guy” who “fought for his country”.

“Here’s what I’m saying about (Elon Musk) Heiling Hitler, Heiling Nazis: I really don’t think he was because I honestly think Hitler was a good guy based on my own research, not my public educational indoctrination,” said Mitchell.

He added: “I really think before Hitler came on Meth, he was a guy I wanted to fish with. He fought for his country. He would clean it by kicking out the greedy Jews who destroyed his land and made them all gay. The gays out of the children. They queeer out of the women. They queeer out of dudes. Do you know where the first tranny operation ever was? Was happening to in Germany before Hitler took over. “

Despite the views, White described as “mute and ignorant,” the right of the long -standing UFC defended Mitchell to express them.

“It’s freedom of speech,” White said. “That’s the beautiful thing about this business, for all of you who hate Bryce Mitchell, you will hopefully see him get his ass to cling on global TV.”
