UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell was on a podcast where he said, "I honestly think that Hitler was a good guy, based upon my own research. I really do think, before Hitler got on meth, he was a guy to 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. They were saying up the kids, queering up the women and dudes. Do you know when the first tranny surgery was? Happened to be in Germany before Hitler took over. Hitler burned queer books because Hitler didn't want a bunch of queers destroying his nation."
UFC President Dana White addressed Mitchell's comments, saying, "I've heard a lot of dumb and ignorant shit in my day, but this one is probably the worse. Hitler tried to erase a race of people. Hitler is one of the most disgusting and evil human beings to ever walk the face of the Earth. Anyone who tries to take an opposing position is a moron. We've obviously reached out to Bryce, and when we read what he said and let him know how we feel about it, we're beyond disgusted."
White said that Mitchell would not face any punishment because White believes in free speech. "I don't have to love it. You don't have to love it."
White said that for everyone who hates Bryce Mitchell, you get to see him hopefully get his ass whooped.
"We're disgusted by [his comments]. I think he's probably one of the dumbest, literally one of the dumbest human beings. Let's not forget that this is a guy who took a drill through his nutsack and then had to reserve it. That's the level of stupid that we're talking about. I could go on for ten minutes talking about how dumb Bryce Mitchell is, but guess what, Bryce Mitchell has a podcast. That's the world we live in. Dumb people and people who are ignorant can have a voice. Out of all the dumb and ignorant shit I've heard in my life, this has to be the dumbest and most ignorant," said Dana.
When asked what Bryce said when they spoke, White replied, "He said, 'I'm sorry if I put you in a bad position.' He's stupid. He's dumb. You can't fix dumb people. When you have somebody who is really stupid, what do you do? How do you talk sense to a dummy? You don't."
