UFC’s Bryce Mitchell Walks Back Hitler Comments, Apologizes for Insensitivity


UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell is backtracking after facing massive backlash for making positive remarks about Adolf Hitler. In a statement released today, Mitchell apologized for his comments, acknowledging the Holocaust and the atrocities committed by the Nazi leader.

"I'm definitely not a Nazi and do not condone any of the evil things Hitler did," Mitchell clarified, adding that he was sorry to those he offended.

The controversy erupted earlier this week when Mitchell shockingly described Hitler as a "good guy" who became addicted to meth and attempted to "purify Germany" by targeting Jewish people. His remarks sparked outrage across the MMA community and beyond.

UFC President Dana White slammed the comments, calling them "one of the dumbest things" he had ever heard. Jewish UFC fighter Natan Levy also expressed his disgust but acknowledged Mitchell’s right to free speech, explaining why the UFC likely wouldn’t take disciplinary action.

While Mitchell's apology marks an attempt at damage control, many fans believe it may be too little, too late. It remains to be seen how this controversy will impact his career moving forward.
