Bryce Mitchell got people in the MMA community talking — including UFC CEO Dana White, and his fellow fighters in and out of the organization.
On the debut episode of his podcast, Mitchell went on a tirade claiming that through his research, Adolf Hitler was a “good guy,” and that the holocaust wasn’t real. White condemned Mitchell’s comments following Thurday’s Power Slap event, calling Mitchell’s words “beyond disgusting.” In a follow-up question, White said that there would be no punishment for Mitchell due to “free speech.”
Mitchell, who knocked out Kron Gracie at UFC 310 in his most recent appearance in December, has yet to issue a statement or comment in regards to the backlash, but that didn’t stop fellow UFC fighters such as Conor McGregor, Sean Strickland, Paulo Costa, and many more from reacting to the situation.
Check out what pro fighters had to say about Mitchell and his comments below.
The irony is wild- The guy who has a hard on for Floyd Mayweather and fantasizes about getting his way with him in a jail cell is accusing the Jews of the “queering” kids.

Saying a prayer for my God fearing brother Bryce Mitchell tonight who I know is a good man. Let this be acknowledgement/confirmation of the rise in antisemitic commentary, as well as all sorts of other bullshit, phobic, racist commentary, that spreads feverishly and instantly…

Bryce Mitchell is a tough competitor, and from what I’ve seen, a good guy in many ways. But his comments about Hitler being a ‘good guy’ before meth and someone he could’ve gone fishing with are completely off base. There’s no version of Hitler that was ever just a regular guy…

Not defending Bryce but! For the last year we have been watching bloody kids, dead kids, missing limbs being pulled out of rubble from Isreali bombs. We have been being forced fed that Americans are to blame for these. The truth is complex and grey. Hostage, generation’s of hate…

Hey Bryce Mitchell, since you are so good at research I invite you to take a little educational tour. We’ll start in Warsaw, which was nearly razed to the ground in 1945. You will see many memorial plaques commemorating the public executions of civilians. 1/4

We’ll take a walking tour of the ex-Ghetto area. By the way, we will go to Palmiry where the Nazis executed 1700 people including Olympic champion Janusz Kusociński. Then we will go to Auschwitz, where one million people were murdered. 2/4

You can reflect on each prisoner separately. I will also share a personal story, because Waclaw – my grandfather’s brother – was in this camp. Jan Bednarek, in turn, is my grandmother’s brother, who died in the Buchenwald camp. 3/4

My grandfather was held in a German prisoner of war camp. I invite you to Poland to see all this with your own eyes. We’ll see if you’ll still consider “you know who” a good guy. 4/4
