UFC Won't Discipline Bryce Mitchell for Antisemitic Remarks

UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell has come under fire for making antisemitic and homophobic comments during the first episode of his podcast, where he controversially praised Adolf Hitler as a 'good guy.' Mitchell claimed his views were based on his own research and not conventional education, denying the Holocaust and making derogatory remarks about Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities. UFC President Dana White condemned Mitchell's comments as 'beyond disgusting' and criticized the fighter for his lack of historical understanding, though he stated that Mitchell would not face disciplinary action due to the principles of free speech. Despite significant backlash from the public and media, including disgust from his podcast co-host, Mitchell has not retracted his statements. White emphasized the dangers of social media providing platforms to 'dumb and ignorant people.' The controversy highlights ongoing tensions between free speech and accountability in public discourse.
