UFC Fighter Bryce Mitchell Apologizes for Pro-Hitler Comments After Widespread Criticism

Dana White condemned Mitchell's remarks as 'beyond disgusting' but defended the UFC's decision not to impose disciplinary action, citing free speech.

Bryce Mitchell, a UFC featherweight fighter, praised Adolf Hitler and denied the Holocaust on the debut episode of his 'ArkanSanity Podcast,' sparking intense backlash.
Mitchell later apologized on Instagram, acknowledging the Holocaust as a fact and condemning Hitler's actions, while insisting he is 'definitely not a Nazi.'
UFC President Dana White called Mitchell's comments 'probably the worst' he has ever heard but stated that the organization would not punish him due to its commitment to free speech.
Critics, including journalist Ariel Helwani, have pointed to Mitchell's comments as an example of broader issues within the mixed martial arts community.
Some analysts speculate that the UFC may indirectly respond by giving Mitchell a challenging matchup, though this remains unconfirmed.
