Clueless UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell proves himself to be a complete imbecile by calling Adolf Hitler 'a good guy'

Bryce Mitchell, a 30-year-old featherweight fighter in the UFC who owns a 17-2 record, is an imbecile.

Check that.

Mitchell is a fucking imbecile.

What else is there to say about a human -- a cretin -- who called Nazi leader Adolf Hitler "a good guy," and said he'd go fishing with him? Mitchell denied the holocaust, bashed gays and made himself look like the biggest lowlife on the face of the Earth with his comments on his new podcast.

In more than 40 years as a journalist, I have never used the 'F' word in publication until now. But calling a mass murderer a  good guy is a more than adequate reason to break that streak.

I won't link Mitchell's podcast here, for obvious reasons.

UFC CEO Dana White lambasted Mitchell for his comments, though he brought up the free speech angle when asked what punishment Mitchell should face. I agree, Mitchell has the right to say what he wants. 

That he has the right to say it doesn't mean that there shouldn't be consequences, and severe ones, that come with it.

Why would White want a lowlife who would even think those thoughts, let alone express them publicly, to represent his company in any small way? If Mitchell fights again, he'll have that UFC logo on his shorts and there is the potential that he'd be interviewed post-fight and have a chance to repeat such disgusting behavior.

The UFC should cut him immediately.

Talking about Elon Musk's Nazi salute, Mitchell said, "I honestly think that Hitler was a good guy based upon my own research, not my public education indoctrination."

Thank goodness Mitchell didn't blame his public education because it's clear he's severely lacking in education. The holocaust is arguably the worst sustained event in human history and there is ample evidence documenting it online. Mitchell, of course, is ignorant beyond belief. But he's only 30 and doesn't know anyone whose family had someone survive the holocaust.

I have seen people who survived the holocaust who had serial numbers tattooed on their chest. Just seeing that is enough to make one ill, to realize how depraved Hitler and his regime was.

The internet is often a wonderful place which has helped millions learn, grow and provide for themselves and their families. It has helped to change the world for good in so many ways. But it's also a cesspool where thieves, connivers and crackpots like Mitchell can say things with no basis in fact and praise a guy who tried to wipe out an entire race of people.

White didn't hold back in ripping Mitchell. He was in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and at the post-fight news conference following PowerSlap 11, White opened with a statement blasting Mitchell and Hitler.

“I’ve heard a lot of dumb and ignorant shit said over the years, but this is probably the worst,” White said. “First of all, when you talk about Hitler, he was responsible for the death of six million Jews. It was his intent to completely eliminate the Jewish people. That’s a guy you would want to go fishing with? And think about this, when you look at World War II, it was the deadliest war in human history. In its entirety, you’re talking about a war that resulted in 15 million military deaths, and 45 million civilian deaths. That doesn’t include at least another 25 million soldiers who were wounded.

“Second of all, 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. 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 WWII.”

White went on to refer to Mitchell as "fucking stupid" multiple times. 

Mitchell isn’t just stupid; he’s dangerously ignorant. That goes without saying. This is a guy with a lot of wacky beliefs.

It's humorous to some that Mitchell believes the Earth is flat, but praising history's most notorious murderous madman is beyond the pale.

Maybe someone should send Mitchell on a guided tour of the Dachau concentration camp. Perhaps standing in the remnants of history's greatest atrocity would crack through his ignorance. 

Maybe then he'd get an inkling of the type of person Hitler was.

Mitchell is despicable and doesn't deserve to hold a job in which children and young people may look up to him.

Cut him and throw out the garbage now.
