Mixed Martial Arts fighter Bryce Mitchell's comments on late German politician Adolf Hitler has gone viral, drawing condemnation, especially from Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) chief Dana White. Not only did Mitchell claim Hitler to be a good guy, but also denied the holocaust as part of history.
The late German politician imposed a totalitarian dictatorship to govern the country and is widely believed to be responsible for killing six million Jewish men, women and children. As reported by the BBC, 12000 Jews were being killed every day by 1944.
Speaking on the “ArkanSanity Podcast” with Roli Delgado, the 30-year-old labelled Jews as greedy and made homophobic comments.
"I honestly think that Hitler was a good guy based upon my own research, not my public education indoctrination. I really do think before Hitler got on meth, he was a guy I'd go fishing with. He wanted to purify [Germany] by kicking the greedy Jews out that were destroying his country and turning them all into gays."
Mitchell also clarified that public education is all wrong as holocaust didn't happen at all, claiming it's not at all real.
"That's what your public education will tell you Roli because you believe your public education because you haven't done your own research. When you realize there's no possible way they could've burned and cremated six million bodies, you're gonna realize the Holocaust ain't real."
"Hitler is one of the most disgusting and evil human beings to ever walk the earth" - Dana White
Meanwhile, UFC Chief White lashed out at Mitchell, stating that his comments were disgusting and that anybody who thinks Hitler is a good human being is a m*ron. White said, as quoted by BBC Sport:
"We reached out to Bryce immediately when we read what he said, and let him know exactly how we felt about it. But what he said was beyond disgusting and he needs a real education on the facts surrounding Hitler and World War Two. 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 m*ron."
