Bryce Mitchell has released a statement in response to the massive backlash he has received in the wake of pro-Adolf Hitler comments he made on a podcast.

In the first episode of his new podcast, ArkanSanity, Mitchell appeared to defend Hitler, the dictator and leader of Germany under Nazi rule. The UFC featherweight claimed that while Hitler wasn’t “perfect,” he was “a good guy.”

“I honestly think Hitler was a good guy, based upon my own research, not my public education and indoctrination,” Mitchell said. “He fought for his country, he wanted to purify it by kicking the greedy Jews out who were destroying his country and turning them all into gays. Was Hitler perfect? No, but he was fighting for his people. He wanted a pure nation.”

After significant backlash, Mitchell took to Instagram Saturday, attempting to walk back elements of his remarks.

“I’m sorry I sounded insensitive,” Mitchell said in the statement, released on his Instagram account. “I definitely was not trying to offend anybody, but I know I did. I know that a lot of people died in the Holocaust, and that’s a fact. Hitler did a lot of evil things, I think we can all agree on that. I’m definitely not a nazi, and definitely do not condone any of the evil things he did.”

Mitchell added in the post’s description that, [sic] “in the future i will b much more considerate wen talkin about the suffering of all peoples.”

Mitchell’s original comments, in spite of the apology released today, also had him claiming that the Holocaust was not real, stating “there’s no possible way they could’ve burned and cremated 6 million bodies…” and putting the blame for its existence on the public education system.

Several fighters and MMA media members came out with criticism targeted toward Mitchell in the wake of his comments. UFC CEO Dana White stated that he was “beyond disgusted” with Mitchell’s comments. White, however, confirmed that Mitchell would not be cut or punished, citing “free speech.”

Another UFC star, Conor McGregor, would come under fire mere hours later for a profanity-laced rant filled with ethnic and racial slurs fired against Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Bryce Mitchell is unlikely to avoid the long-lasting consequences of his anti-Semitic comments, or so predicts a UFC insider.

Mitchell, notorious for regularly making bizarre statements that even the most sensible would reject, coupled with his promotion of numerous conspiracy theories that defy scientific logic, has once again raised eyebrows with his latest remarks.

During the first episode of his freshly launched ArkanSanity Podcast, “Thug Nasty” stunned listeners with a striking rant, oddly praising Adolf Hitler as a “good guy,” and going on to reject the Holocaust as a fabricated event in history.

UFC CEO Dana White wasted no time responding to Mitchell’s shocking comments during the post-event press conference for Power Slap on Thursday. The UFC head honcho expressed his outrage, calling Mitchell’s statements “probably the worst” viewpoint he had ever come across.

Despite emphasizing the gravity of the situation, White clarified that no disciplinary action would be taken against “Thug Nasty” and that the UFC would not sever ties with him due to free speech.

However, despite the UFC refraining from issuing a formal action against Mitchell, Chael Sonnen is convinced that the polarizing fighter will still face significant consequences down the line.

During a recent interview with MMA Junkie, Sonnen predicted that Mitchell would suffer a financial setback for expressing his sympathy toward the Nazi dictator, suggesting that the fallout would likely cost him valuable sponsorships.

“Please understand, there’s a checks and balances for these guys that run their mouth or say something bad or say something that’s really offensive,” Sonnen said. “There’s other things you can do, there’s checks and balances. Mark my words, he’s having calls from whatever sponsors he’s got, he doesn’t have them anymore. In the best case scenario, they all got frozen – in a best case scenario.”

The former UFC fighter-turned-analyst further warned that the 30-year-old Arkansas native that the repercussions would extend beyond the public eye.

“Now, the audience is going to look at him different. Those things don’t go away. To pretend that there’s not a punishment, is not true… There’s criminals out there, but some of them jaywalk, and some of them rob a bank. There’s different levels, and there’s checks and balances for all of them. So please, let’s not pretend that Bryce has got away with something here. He most definitely did not.”

While most fans have distanced themselves from him on Instagram, others appear to have rallied behind him on X. The recent surge in followers for UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell on X (formerly Twitter) after making pro-Hitler remarks is a troubling dynamic in social media.

“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.

Jan Blachowicz Outraged by Bryce Mitchell ‘Come to Poland and Learn the Truth About Nazi Atrocities’

UFC athlete Bryce Mitchell has sparked widespread outrage with controversial remarks made during the debut episode of his podcast in which he praised Hitler. The 30-year-old also denied the Holocaust and made inflammatory comments about Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities. His statements have drawn condemnation from across the MMA world, including UFC President Dana White and former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jan Blachowicz.

Jan Blachowicz Outraged by Bryce Mitchell

In a recent press conference, UFC president Dana White labeled Bryce Mitchell’s comments as “beyond disgusting” and emphasized the historical atrocities committed by Hitler, including the deaths of six million Jews during the Holocaust. However, at this time, there has been no disciplinary action announced by the organization.

On his podcast, Bryce Mitchell said of Hitler:

“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 fought for his country, he wanted to purify it by kicking the greedy Jews out that were destroying his country”

In response, the Polish MMA fighter Jan Blachowicz responded and said:

“Hey Bryce Mitchell, since you are so good at research I invite you to take a little educational tour. We’ll start in Warsaw, which was nearly razed to the ground in 1945. You will see many memorial plaques commemorating the public executions of civilians.

“We’ll take a walking tour of the ex-Ghetto area. By the way, we will go to Palmiry where the Nazis executed 1700 people including Olympic champion Janusz Kusoci?ski. Then we will go to Auschwitz, where one million people were murdered.

“You can reflect on each prisoner separately. I will also share a personal story, because Waclaw – my grandfather’s brother – was in this camp. Jan Bednarek, in turn, is my grandmother’s brother, who died in the Buchenwald camp. My grandfather was held in a German prisoner of war camp. I invite you to Poland to see all this with your own eyes. We’ll see if you’ll still consider “you know who” a good guy.”

The majority of Nazi extermination camps during World War II were located in German-occupied Poland. These camps were specifically designed for mass murder as part of the Nazis’ “Final Solution” to exterminate Jews and other targeted groups. The six major extermination camps, Auschwitz, Treblinka, Sobibor, Belzec, Chelmno, and Majdanek, were all established within occupied Polish territory.

Jan Blachowicz’s response shows the deep wounds caused by Nazi atrocities. It shows the importance of confronting Holocaust denial and misinformation spread by people like Bryce Mitchell.

Sean Strickland Says Donald Trump's Rallies Often Feel Like "A Hitler speech" in Attempt to Explain Bryce Mitchell

UFC athletes Sean Strickland and Bryce Mitchell have recently drawn significant attention for their controversial statements. The Arkansas-born athlete Mitchell praised Adolf Hitler, and while Strickland attempted to explain the athlete’s actions he made some new statements making the matter even more cloudy.

Recently, Bryce Mitchell ignited outrage after making highly offensive comments during the debut episode of his podcast ArkanSanity. Mitchell described Adolf Hitler as a “good guy.”

In an attempt to explain Bryce Mitchell’s actions, Strickland said:

“Bryce is a product of being on the internet too much. Nothing more Nothing less … Bottom line you don’t fix hate with hate. In America or the world. Bryce is a product of the internet.“

Sean Strickland also added:

“I’ve been at a trump rally thinking “wow this feels like a Hitler speech” it is brain washing. Find an enemy, attack the enemy rally the people around the enemy. There is a reason why he rallied millions of people to do evil acts. Hate and fear is the easiest way to get people to march in the direction you want“
