Dana White Calls Bryce Mitchell “One of the Dumbest”
UFC Star Faces Backlash Over Hitler Remarks –
UFC featherweight Bryce Mitchell has sparked widespread controversy following comments he made about Adolf Hitler on his podcast ArkanSanity. In a viral clip, Mitchell claimed that Hitler was a “good guy” before he started using methamphetamine, arguing that the Nazi leader only wanted “the best for his country.” He further stated that, according to his own research, Jewish people were attempting to “make children homosexual.”
– “I think Hitler, before methamphetamine, was a guy you’d want to go fishing with,” Mitchell said.
His comments were met with immediate backlash, with many in the MMA community condemning them as historically inaccurate and offensive.
Dana White Strongly Condemns Mitchell’s Statements
During a press conference for Power Slap 11, UFC President Dana White was asked about Mitchell’s remarks. White did not hold back, calling it “one of the dumbest things” he had ever heard. He expressed disbelief that Mitchell would attempt to defend Hitler in any capacity and confirmed that the UFC had reached out to the fighter regarding his comments.
– “We are beyond disgusted,” White stated.
– “He is one of the dumbest people. This is the guy who drilled a hole through his scrotum and then pulled it out by drilling in the opposite direction. That’s the level of dumb we’re talking about,” he continued.
Despite his strong condemnation, White clarified that the UFC would not be taking disciplinary action against Mitchell, citing his right to freedom of speech.

The incident has fueled ongoing debates about accountability in combat sports. While some fans continue to support Mitchell, others have called for the UFC to take stronger action against him.

This is not the first time Mitchell has drawn attention for his unconventional beliefs. He has previously stated that he does not believe in gravity or that the Earth is round. Additionally, he refuses to wear a seatbelt while driving, claiming that he needs to be prepared to “jump out and defend himself” at any moment.
As of now, Mitchell has not responded to Dana White’s remarks. Whether he will address the backlash remains to be seen.
