Dana White condemns Bryce Mitchell’s Hitler comments

When he appeared on Thursday, January 30th in front of a Power Slap event in Riad, Saudi Arabia, the UFC chairman Dana White criticized the comments from Bryce Mitchell, the number thirteen weight on the UFC- Squad.

Mitchell, in the first episode of his podcast, when he spoke about Elon Musk’s National Social greeting at a Trump rally, he defended Hitler and also denied the Holocaust.

“If you realize that there is no way to burn 6 million corpses and cremated, you will see that the Holocaust is not real,” he said Pro Hindustantime.

White explained that the UFC had turned to Mitchell to express disappointment, and added: “I have heard a lot of stupid and ignorant shit over the years, but this is probably the worst.”

Dana White’s strong condemnation of Mitchell’s comments had led to speculation that the fighter was exposed to some disciplinary actions of the UFC.

However, when White was asked about the possibility of punishing Mitchell, he explained that, despite what someone thinks, the fighter was justified to say everything he wants because his right to “freedom of expression”.

“Everyone wants to hear that about punishment, but it is freedom of speech. I don’t have to love it, you don’t have to love it,” said White.

Although Mitchell will continue to fight in the UFC, White suggested that he could be confronted with his punishment in the Octagon and explains: “Hopefully you can see him on the global stage for everyone who hate Bryce Mitchell.”

The decision not to punish Mitchell for his controversial comments did not go well with some UFC fans.

After Dana White’s comments that people should prepare for Michell’s next fight to see him beaten, X user Scalywaggington commented“Here @danawhite is as good as you can expect when you consider that he has investors and so on.”

The popular streamer Sneako asked why White would keep a press conference on Mitchell, but not knitting and explained: “It shows that they can talk about a group, but they cannot talk about the other.”

Although Mitchell’s youngest Hitler comments brought him a lot of criticism, this is not the first time that the mixed martial artist made controversial comments.

In 2024, Mitchell said that he wanted to teach his son at home to prevent him from being gay. In an Instagram video, he noticed: “We have to teach all of our children at home, or they will all become gay.”

Another comment by Mitchell is his belief that the earth is flat and that gravity does not exist. The UFC fighter made the comment 2022 after he had called the famous Podcaster Joe Rogan to talk about him and his mother’s faith about the earth.

“This earth is flat, it is fixed and the stars and stuff turn around us. The sun rotates Metro UK.

Since the Hitler remarks from Mitchell became viral, UFC fighters have addressed the comments of one of their colleagues.

In an Instagram contribution, the Israeli UFC fighter Natan Levy Mitchell excluded his comments and explained by Newsweek“You can call me a greedy Jew in the face and we will see what’s going on.”

In contrast, the former UFC fighter and the five-time world champion Jake Shields Mitchell defended and said that it was completely okay for people to praise Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is responsible for the death of children in Gaza, but not Hitler is.

Levy wrote: “It is socially acceptable to praise him, but everyone loses the mind when Bryce Mitchell praises a man who has been dead for 80 years.”
