Bryce Mitchell Threatens to Hand 'Lord' a 'Country A** Whoopin' After UFC Seattle Call Out

Bryce Mitchell says there is only one Lord and it ain’t Jean Silva.

Return to the Octagon in the ‘Emerald City’ on Saturday night, Silva delivered one of the evening’s most memorable knockouts—and that’s saying something—via a vicious first-round stoppage against Melsik Baghdasaryan.

Following his fourth straight win under the UFC banner, ‘Lord’ called out Mitchell by asking CEO Dana White for an opportunity to throw hands with ‘Thug Nasty’ inside the Octagon.

“There is a guy who’s been talking a lot of crap—Bryce Mitchell,” Silva said through a translator. “Dana [White], put me in front of him and I’ll do the job.”

As it turns out, Mitchell was watching the Fight Night card and posting his reactions on social media. Responding to Silva’s challenge, Hitler’s biggest fan slammed the Brazilian’s nickname and threatened to give Silva a “country ass whoopin’” on MMA’s biggest stage.

“There’s only one LORD and it aint u fool,” Mitchell wrote on X. U need country ass whopping. It will humble u just rite.”

Currently, Silva is sitting on a 12-fight win streak with his last four victories coming inside the Octagon—all via knockout.

Mitchell has won two of his last three, including a third-round KO over Kron Gracie in his last outing at UFC 310 in December. ‘Thug Nasty’ has not yet booked his first UFC appearance of 2025, but the Arkansas native is scheduled to compete in a grappling match against Ilay Barzilay at Karate Combat 58 on February 28.

It will be Mitchell’s first time competing since coming under fire for claiming that Adolf Hitler was a “good guy” during the inaugural episode of his Arkansanity podcast.

Bryce Mitchell is set to return to action after stirring up controversy just weeks ago — but this time, it won’t be inside the Octagon.

Mitchell, known for his outspoken and often controversial views, faced intense backlash last month after making anti-Semitic comments on his newly launched ArkanSanity podcast, where he shockingly spoke favorably of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.

Although UFC CEO Dana White fiercely condemned “Thug Nasty” for his remarks, he stopped short of taking any formal action against the featherweight fighter.

Now, Mitchell has signed on for a 180-pound catchweight Pit Submission (grappling) showdown against Ilay Barzilay at Karate Combat 53. The promotion announced on Thursday that the event is set to take place on Feb. 28 in Denver, Colorado.

“Thug Nasty” last competed at UFC 310 in December, where he secured a third-round knockout victory over Kron Gracie. Mitchell has gone 2-2 in his last four bouts and currently boasts a professional record of 17-3, with nine of those wins coming by submission.

Meanwhile, his opponent, Barzilay, remains unbeaten with a perfect 6-0 record, having competed primarily under the LFA banner. “The Hype is Real” is coming off a dominant unanimous decision victory over Kohl Laren in December.

Interestingly, hailing from a Jewish background, Israel’s Barzilay was among those who fiercely criticized Mitchell for his Hitler-sympathizing remarks. He even went a step further, warning of serious consequences if the two ever crossed paths.

Bryce Mitchell Breaks Silence on Hitler Comments in Now-Deleted Interview: “They didn’t play the whole podcast”

Bryce Mitchell Breaks Silence on Hitler Comments on Now-Deleted Interview: "They didn't play the whole podcast"

UFC Athlete Bryce Mitchell has come under fire for controversial remarks made during the debut episode of his podcast, ArkanSanity. In the podcast, Mitchell described Adolf Hitler as a “good guy” before committing atrocities, denied the Holocaust, and made homophobic and antisemitic comments. These statements have sparked widespread criticism from fans, media figures, and UFC President Dana White.

Bryce Mitchell Adds More About Hitler

Bryce Mitchell has since addressed the controversy in an Instagram post, clarifying that he is “definitely not a Nazi” and apologizing for his insensitivity. He stated that his comments were taken out of context and emphasized that he does not condone Hitler’s actions. “I know that a lot of people died in the Holocaust, and that’s a fact,” he wrote. “Hitler did a lot of evil things… I definitely do not condone any of the evil things Hitler did”

In a deleted episode with Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, Bryce Mitchell said:

“I wish I didn’t have to talk about it at all but I feel like the severity of it, being that this is the first time I’ve shown my face since I said it, I do want to talk about it. First things first, I said word for word. I do not support Hitler, I am not a Nazi. I said that word for word, you can go back and watch it. I said Hitler was a good guy, and then I said ‘before’ he committed all the atrocities but they didn’t play the whole podcast. So I did say Hitler was a good guy but I was saying before he committed all the atrocities.”

Here is exactly what Bryce Mitchell said on his podcast:

“I honestly think that Hitler was a good guy based on my own research, not my public education indoctrination. 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. They were gaying out the kids. They were queering out the women. They were queering out the dudes.”

The backlash has been intense, with figures like Ariel Helwani criticizing both Mitchell’s comments and the UFC’s lack of disciplinary action. Helwani called it “a new low for MMA” and expressed disappointment over the sport’s tolerance for such behavior. Advocacy groups like the Anti-Defamation League also condemned Mitchell’s statements as toxic and urged swift action from the UFC

Sean Strickland Explains Bryce Mitchell's Support for Hitler Through Israel: "Bryce is an Idiot."

Sean Strickland didn’t hold back in his response to Bryce Mitchell’s recent praise of Adolf Hitler.

That was just one of the many hot takes that Strickland shared during Wednesday’s UFC 312 media event ahead of Saturday’s pay-per-view card in Sydney, Australia. Strickland is scheduled to square off with reigning and defending UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis in a rematch more than a year in the making.

Right out of the gate, Strickland offered his take on the situation surrounding UFC featherweight standout Bryce Mitchell. ‘Thug Nasty’ found himself in some seriously hot water when he said that Hitler was a “good guy” based on his own research and added that he’d liked to have gone fishing with the former dictator of Nazi Germany.

Unsurprisingly, fighters, fans, and even UFC CEO Dana White lambasted Mitchell for his absolutely ignorant comments.

Sean Strickland dubs Bryce Mitchell an ‘idiot from arkansas’ in fiery rant

Strickland, who is certainly no stranger when it comes to making some truly outlandish observations, was even taken aback by Bryce Mitchell’s comments. While addressing the media, Strickland offered his honest thoughts on how exactly the Arkansas native concluded that the man responsible for murdering six million Jews was simply misunderstood.

“The interwebs, X, CNN—all the media—we’ve been seeing dead little brown kids being pulled out of buildings,” Strickland said. “Every time I go on the news, I see, ‘Israeli bombs a hospital, here’s a dead little Palestinian girl.’ Before she wears a hijab, it’s the only time you can see her face. Damn, it’s real sad. You can’t be a human being, turn on the news, and see these dead kids missing limbs and not feel anger. And not feel anger.

“So what does Bryce do? Bryce goes down the rabbit hole. He goes down the rabbit hole. You know, and again, if anything, this is just a reminder of how careful you have to be not to be radicalized. So Bryce goes down the rabbit hole, and he says, ‘Well, goddamn, I don’t want little f*cking brown kids to die anymore. I want that to stop.’ And then what does Bryce do? Bryce says, ‘Oh, the American military is giving Israel bombs to bomb little brown kids in hospitals.’

“And then, you know, the natural course of action is: ‘Well, why? Why is America bombing little brown kids? And so you say—then I would say—’Do we want little brown kids to be bombed?’ Like, if you had a button right now and you could stop giving bombs to Israel, would you? To stop killing little brown kids? Naturally, yes. You and every other American would. But it doesn’t stop,” Strickland continued.

“So now Bryce starts thinking, ‘Well, sh*t, man, maybe the government—’ He starts going further down the radicalization path. ‘Well, now maybe Israel owns our government.’ This and that, this and that. So with Bryce—I don’t think Bryce is a Nazi. I think Bryce is a f*cking idiot from Arkansas who’s not educated.”
