Dana White condemns Bryce Mitchell's pro-Hitler comments, no UFC action

UFC president Dana White has condemned Bryce Mitchell's recent comments on a podcast where he praised Adolf Hitler and denied the Holocaust, labeling them as 'beyond disgusting.' White expressed his outrage, stating that Mitchell's remarks represent some of the worst ignorance he has encountered, emphasizing the historical atrocities committed by Hitler and the impact of World War II. Despite the strong rebuke, White indicated that Mitchell would not face punishment, framing the situation within the context of free speech. Ariel Helwani, a prominent combat sports journalist, echoed the sentiment of dismay, criticizing the culture within MMA and its tendency to harbor such views. The Anti-Defamation League also expressed shock at Mitchell's statements, underscoring the seriousness of the issue. While there is widespread condemnation, the lack of disciplinary action raises concerns about accountability in the sport.
