Fighter's Hitler comments 'beyond disgusting', says UFC boss White

 

"Beyond disgusting" is how UFC president Dana White described competitor Bryce Mitchell's remarks regarding Adolf Hitler.

Mitchell claimed that "the Holocaust ain't real" and that the German dictator was a "good guy".

Bryce Mitchell: “I honestly think that Hitler was a good guy”

“He fought for his country, he wanted to purify it by kicking the greedy jews out that were destroying his country that were turning them all into gays”

During the debut episode of his podcast, the 30-year-old American, who is now ranked 13th in the featherweight class, made a number of antisemitic, homophobic, and transphobic remarks.

White stated: "As soon as we read what Bryce had to say, we got in touch with him and expressed our feelings to him.

 "But what he said was beyond disgusting and he needs a real education on the facts surrounding Hitler and World War Two."

Despite White's condemnation, Mitchell, who last fought in December, has as yet faced no further action for his comments.

White added: "Hitler is one of the most disgusting and evil human beings to ever walk the earth, and anyone that even tries to take an opposing position is a moron.

"That's the problem with the internet and social media. You provide a platform to a lot of dumb and ignorant people."

As leader of the Nazi party, Hitler led Germany into World War Two and ordered the Holocaust genocide, in which six million Jews were murdered.
