UFC featherweight standout Bryce Mitchell has once again made headlines with perhaps his most ignorant and abhorrent hot take yet.
On the first episode of his ArkanSanity podcast alongside former fighter Roli Delgado, ‘Thug Nasty’ began speaking about the controversy surrounding Elon Musk and his alleged Nazi salute during Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration.
While much of the conversation surrounded Musk’s erratic behavior on social media, Mitchell threw everyone for a loop when he dared to praise Hitler, dubbing the dictator of Nazi Germany a “good guy” and someone Mitchell would like to have gone fishing with.
“I honestly think that Hitler was a good guy based upon my own research, not my public education indoctrination,” Mitchell told Delgado. “I really do think before Hitler got on meth, he was a guy I’d go fishing with.”

“He fought for his country, he wanted to purify it by kicking the greedy jews out that were destroying his country that were turning them all into gays”

Mitchell went on to claim that Hitler “wanted to purify [Germany] by kicking the greedy Jews out that were destroying his country and turning them all into gays.”
Delgado attempted to push back, stating that it was “bad to put a whole race into camps.” However, that only encouraged Mitchell to double down on his ignorance and claim that the Holocaust, which resulted in the deaths of six million Jews, never happened.
“That’s what your public education will tell you Roli because you believe your public education because you haven’t done your own research,” Mitchell continued. “When you realize there’s no possible way they could’ve burned and cremated six million bodies, you’re gonna realize the Holocaust ain’t real.”
Dana White ‘Disgusted’ by Bryce Mitchell
While in Saudi Arabia for Thursday’s Power Slap event and Saturday’s UFC card at ANB Arena, Dana White addressed Mitchell’s comments during a live press conference.
“I’ve heard a lot of dumb and ignorant s— 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 6 million Jews and it was his intent to completely eliminate Jewish people. And that’s a guy you would want to go fishing with?
“Hitler is one of the most disgusting and evil human beings to ever walk the Earth, and anyone that even tries to take an opposing position is a moron. That’s the problem with the internet and social media. You provide a platform to a lot of dumb and ignorant people.”

For those hoping that Mitchell would face some real consequences for his comments, I’m afraid we’ve got some bad news.
“It’s free speech,” White replied when asked about the UFC potentially punishing Mitchell. “That’s the beautiful thing about this business, for all of you who hate Bryce Mitchell, you get to see him hopefully get his ass whooped on global television.”
