Fellow UFC Star Fires Back At Bryce Mitchell
It’s been a hell of a week for MMA fans. Despite 2025 kicking off with a succession of sensational fights for fans to talk about, the headlines have instead been dominated by a handful of extremely negative (and frankly disgusting) comments by a current top 15-ranked UFC star.
Hot on the heels of Conor McGregor‘s embarrassing social media attack on PFL star Paul Hughes earlier this week came the opening episode of UFC featherweight Bryce Mitchell‘s new podcast, ArkanSanity, in which he aired some pretty disturbing views on Adolf Hitler.
“I honestly think that Hitler was a good guy based on my own research, not my public education indoctrination” stated the 30-year-old Bryce Mitchell. “I do really 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 and turning them all into gays,” he added.
“They were gaying out the kids. They were queering out the women. They were queering out the dudes. Do you know where the first tranny surgery ever was? Happened to be in Germany before Hitler took over.”
White Refuses To Punish Bryce Mitchell
The comments understandably drew a barrage of criticism across social media. Dana White, who has been known to shrug off these types of ignorant outburst from fighters in the past, addressed the situation head on when speaking at the Power Slap press conference in Saudi Arabia this week.
“I’ve heard a lot of dumb, ignorant (expletive deleted) in my day, but this one’s probably the worst,” White said about Bryce Mitchell’s comments. “When you talk about Hitler, who’s responsible for the death of six million Jews, and he tried to completely eliminate a race of people. World War II was the deadliest war in history: 15 million military deaths, 45 million civilians and 25 soldiers were killed in World War II.
“Second of all, Hitler is one of the most disgusting and evil human beings to ever walk the face of the earth, and anyone who even tries to take an opposing position is a moron. That’s the problem with the internet and social media. You provide a platform for a lot of dumb, ignorant people.”
Mitchell will not face discipline from UFC, White said, who reiterated his belief in allowing free speech within the promotion. “I don’t have to love it, you don’t have to love it,” stated the UFC president.
“That’s the beautiful thing about this business, for all of you who hate Bryce Mitchell, you get to see him hopefully get his ass whooped on global television.”
“I’m Down” – UFC Lightweight Wants To Fight Bryce Mitchell
While Dana White refuses to punish Mitchell for his comments, one fellow UFC fighter is itching for the opportunity to make him pay.
Israeli lightweight Natan Levy fired back at Mitchell via a post on X, as he tweeted:
“There is no justification to this! 70 to 85 million people died during World War II, Including 300,000 US soldiers, 2/3 of all Jews on earth! Largely thank to Hitler, your (“Pre-Meth”) Fishing buddy. I’ll make it simple for everyone, Keep my people’s name out your fucking mouth”.

He followed that tweet up by reposting a suggestion from the MMA Guru that Mitchell and Levy should meet in the Octagon, along with the caption:
“I ain’t scared of no one and I know Bryce isn’t either. I’ve been asking for a fight for a long time, so I’m down. I’m all for fighting with sportsmanship but willing to do it against haters too.
I also offer to take Bryce to the Holocaust museum to educate him. or even to Israel to show him a beautiful land with people just like him, we don’t have horns, we don’t all conspire to take over the world, we just trying to live our lives and enjoy the sun”.
