UFC President Dana White strongly condemned fighter Bryce Mitchell's remarks about Adolf Hitler on his podcast.Mitchell was talking about X owner Elon Musk being accused of making a Roman salute during a political rally but then transitioned into how he thought Hitler was likely a "good guy" before he got into politics."I honestly think that Hitler was a good guy based upon my own research.

UFC President Dana White strongly condemned fighter Bryce Mitchell's remarks about Adolf Hitler on his podcast.
Mitchell was talking about X owner Elon Musk being accused of making a Roman salute during a political rally but then transitioned into how he thought Hitler was likely a "good guy" before he got into politics.
"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 to go fishing with," Mitchell told his co-host.
On his podcast "ArkanSanity," Mitchell then stated the Nazis were attempting to prevent gender ideologies from permeating throughout their culture.
"[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."
Mitchell said Hitler's use of methamphetamines and attempted invasion of Russia were his true condemnable moments. He also stated he didn't think Hitler was "the best dude ever" or was "the most trustworthy dude."
"He ain't perfect; I'm not a Nazi, I'm not a Nazi, I don't love Nazis, I don't want Nazis to win the war, I'm just saying [Germans] were in a bad spot," Mitchell added.
'... literally one of the dumbest human beings.'
Unsurprisingly, UFC president Dana White was not pleased to hear about Mitchell's remarks.

The fight promoter was soon asked by a reporter if Mitchell would be punished by the UFC, but White stood firm on his free-speech principles.
