UFC President Dana White has strongly condemned featherweight fighter Bryce Mitchell for defending Adolf Hitler and denying the Holocaust in a recent podcast interview.
Mitchell made these comments during the first episode of his “ArkanSanity Podcast,” suggesting that Hitler was a “good guy” who “fought for his country.” In response, White described the rant as “beyond disgusting” at a news conference following a Power Slap event in Saudi Arabia.
White stated that Hitler was responsible for the death of 6 million Jews and emphasized that anyone who takes an opposing position is a moron. He also attributed Mitchell’s comments to the internet and social media, saying they provide a platform for ignorant people.
Despite White condemning the comments, he decided not to take disciplinary action against Mitchell, citing “free speech” as the reason.
