UFC fighter says Adolf Hitler was a ‘good guy’ in shameful rant
UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell has been slammed for saying Adolf Hitler was a ‘good guy’ in a shameful rant.
Mitchell, who fights in the featherweight division of the UFC, made the shocking comments on the first episode of his new podcast, which has been uploaded to YouTube.
The 30-year-old said: ‘I honestly think Hitler was a good guy, based upon my own research, not my public education and indoctrination.
‘He fought for his country, he wanted to purify it by kicking the greedy Jews out who were destroying his country and turning them all into gays.’
Mitchell went on to make more antisemitic, homophobic and transphobic comments.
The MMA community soon picked up on his shameful outburst, with many calling for him to be removed from the sport.
Popular MMA sports broadcaster Ariel Helwani posted on X: ‘Each and every day MMA finds a way to reach a new low.
‘A new way of embarrassing itself and those who are fans of it. But ya know, it’s Free Speech, brother.
‘Nothing will be done, and I don’t even care if anything is done. Say what you want.
‘It just continues to baffle me at how unbelievably stupid – not to mention bigoted – some of the people in the sport or associated with the sport can be.’
MMA journalist Jason Hagholm added: ‘It’s getting harder and harder to tell people you cover MMA.
‘Bryce Mitchell with a trend that is continuing of people making Hitlers actions seem OK.
‘This is what happens when you start taking history books away from schools. The thing is this won’t have any impact on Mitchell as the UFC won’t punish him’
Under Hitler’s leadership, the Nazi regime was responsible for the genocide of an estimated six million Jews and millions of other victims he and his regime deemed socially undesirable.
Hitler was also responsible for the deliberate killing of an estimated 19.3 million civilians and prisoners of war during World War Two, the deadliest conflict in history.
Mitchell, who was born in Arkansas, was selected for the reality television series The Ultimate Fighter: Undefeated after racking up an undefeated professional MMA record of 9-0.
Soon after featuring in the tournament he was signed by UFC, where he is currently ranked 13th in the featherweight rankings.
Last month, Mitchell knocked out Kron Gracie at UFC 310 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, taking his record to 19 wins and two defeats.
Mitchell said last year he intended to home-school his young son because he ‘doesn’t want him to be gay’.
‘We’re going to have to home-school all our kids or they’re all going to end up turning gay,’ he said in an Instagram video while holding his son.
‘That’s the reason I’m going to home-school Tucker, because I don’t want him to be a communist. I don’t want him to worship Satan. I don’t want him to be gay.’
Mitchell previously urged his nearly 500,000 followers not to vaccinate their children.
