Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White and Israeli UFC fighter Natan Levy slammed American featherweight Bryce Mitchell for \u201cdumb\u201d and \u201cdisgusting\u201d comments he made this week, which included praising Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and denying the Holocaust ever happened.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve heard a lot of dumb, ignorant s\u2014t in my day, but this one\u2019s probably the worst,\u201d White\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0during a press conference. \u201cHitler 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\u2019s the problem with the internet and social media \u2014 you provide a platform for a lot of dumb, ignorant people.\u201d He added that the UFC reached out to Mitchell regarding his comments and said the company is \u201cbeyond disgusted.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mitchell made a series of antisemitic and shocking comments during the first episode of his new podcast \u201cArkanSanity,\u201d which he co-hosts with fellow Arkansas native Roli Delgado. The two were discussing\u00a0Elon Musk\u2019s speech<\/a>\u00a0at Capital One Arena after US President Donald Trump\u2019s inauguration earlier this month, and how Musk stretched his hand out to salute in a pose that many observers said was reminiscent of the Nazi salute.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI honestly think that Hitler was a good guy based upon my own research, not my public education indoctrination,\u201d Mitchell then said during the podcast\u00a0episode,<\/a>\u00a0which aired on Saturday. \u201cI 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 out the greedy Jews out that were destroying his country \u2026 when he got on meth and turned on Russia, I believe that\u2019s when he [Hitler] got full nutty.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cW[as] Hitler perfect? No. But he was fighting for his people and he wanted a pure nation,\u201d he added. \u201cThese Jews were controlling his country \u2026 and now that [Hitler] lost the war, he\u2019s the bad guy.\u201d Mitchell then went on to state, \u201cI\u2019m not a Nazi, I don\u2019t love Nazis, I\u2019m just saying they were in a bad spot and Hitler come to power.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Levy responded to Mitchell\u2019s comments in a series of posts on X\/Twitter on Thursday. \u201cCrazy how a guy blessed by God with so much success and opportunity chooses to pay it forward by spreading hate and division every time he gets a mic,\u201d Levy wrote in one\u00a0post.<\/a>\u00a0\u201cAnyway, next time you see me, you\u2019re welcome to have a real conversation and actually learn about Judaism our history and culture, firsthand. Or, if you\u2019d rather, you can call me a greedy Jew to my face, and we\u2019ll see what\u2019s up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He additionally\u00a0offered<\/a>\u00a0to take his UFC rival to a Holocaust museum, to educate him about World War II, or even on a trip to Israel. Levy said he wants Mitchell to learn that \u201c[Israel is] a beautiful land with people just like him, we don\u2019t have horns, we don\u2019t all conspire to take over the world, we just trying to live our lives and enjoy the sun.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll make it simple for everyone, Keep my people\u2019s name out your f\u2014king mouth,\u201d he added in another\u00a0post<\/a>\u00a0on X. Levy\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0that for those defending Mitchell\u2019s freedom of speech, his response was: \u201cYeah! every idiot is free to speak and I am free to tell them to shut the f\u2014k up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

During the podcast episode on Saturday, Delgado argued that Hitler was wrong for persecuting Jews, such as forcing them into Nazi concentration camps. In his response, Mitchell denied the Holocaust. \u201cThat\u2019s what your public education will tell you, Roli. Because you believe your public education. Because you haven\u2019t done your own research,\u201d Mitchell insisted. \u201cWhen you realize there is no possible way they could have burned and cremated six million bodies, you\u2019re gonna realize the Holocaust ain\u2019t real.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHistory is HIS-story. History is written by the victor. Hitler lost so you didn\u2019t get to hear his side of the war, you didn\u2019t get to hear how the Jews took his country over,\u201d he suggested. \u201cDo I believe that he tortured Jews to death and killed them and all this stuff for fun? No. I believe they were work camps and they starved to death because [Hitler\u2019s] very army were starving to death \u2026 I don\u2019t believe he\u2019s that bad of a guy \u2026 Hitler \u2014 he was for freedom. Hitler just wanted to free his people. But we can\u2019t talk about the Holocaust like it was a real thing because I don\u2019t believe it. I don\u2019t believe the bulls\u2014t that they try to tell you at the public school.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
