Dana White condemns Bryce Mitchell’s comments on Hitler and Holocaust: ‘What he said was beyond disgusting’

UFC CEO Dana White has condemned comments from Bryce Mitchell on his podcast, defending Adolf Hitler and denying that Holocaust happened.

UFC Featherweight went on an offensive diatribe on his podcast, claiming Hitler was a “good guy based on my own research” and that he “fought for his country, he would clean it by kicking out the greedy Jews, There, his country destroyed and transforms them all into homophiles.

After the podcast became viral to the abominable comments, White issued a statement to MMA Fighting that addressed Mitchell’s behavior after a power slack event in Saudi Arabia on Thursday.

“I’ve heard a lot of mute and ignorant shit said over the years, but this is probably the worst,” White said. “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 remove the Jewish people. And it’s a guy you’d like to fish with? And think about this when looking at (2nd World War), it was the deadliest war in human history. In its entirety, you are talking about a war that resulted in 15 million military deaths and 45 million civilian deaths. It includes, not least, another 25 million soldiers who were wounded.

“Secondly, Hitler is one of the most disgusting and evil people who have ever walked on earth, and anyone who even tries to take an opposite position is an idiot. That’s the problem of the Internet and social media. You give a platform to many mute and ignorant people. We immediately reached out to Bryce as we read what he was saying, letting him know exactly how we felt it. But what he said was beyond disgusting, and he needs a real education about facts about Hitler and WWII. “

Although white fiercely condemned Mitchell’s comments, sometime Ultimate Fighter Competitor does not face any penalty from the promotion.

“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, ”White said. “What do you want me to say about it? You know where I am with freedom of speech. We are disgusted by it. I think he is literally one of the dumbest people.

“Let’s not forget that this is a guy who took an exercise through his emergency, so had to return it and pull the drill out. That’s the stupid level we’re talking about. I could probably continue for 10 minutes and talk about how mute Bryce Mitchell is but guess what? Bryce Mitchell has a podcast. What way to start. That’s the world we’re living in now. Mute people, people who are really stupid and truly ignorant can have a voice. We don’t have to agree with that. We don’t have to like it. I give you my and UFC’s attitude to what he had to say. And this is no different from things that I have said about (Sean) Strickland, but I will say this: Out of all the mute, ignorant shit I’ve heard in my life, this must be the stupidest and most ignorant. “

White also conveyed what Mitchell said to UFC after reaching him out to tackle the comments from his podcast.

“His thing was” I’m sorry if I put you in any position, “White said. “He’s stupid. He is mute. You can’t fix mute people. When you have someone who really is really stupid and that’s what we’re talking about here what do you do? How do you talk to a dummy? You don’t. “

Mitchell has not dealt with the situation in public since his podcast was published.

The 30-year-old fighter has spent the last six plus years in the UFC while gathering an 8-2 record overall with the promotion.
