UFC president and CEO Dana White quickly condemned remarks made by fighter Bryce Mitchell during a podcast in which Mitchell referred to Adolf Hitler as "a good guy."

White addressed the matter at a press conference following a Power Slap event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

"I've heard a lot of dumb, ignorant s*** in my day, but this one's probably the worst," White told reporters.

"Hitler is one of the most disgusting and evil human beings to ever walk the face of the earth," he continued. "And anyone who even tries to take an opposing position is a moron. That's the problem with the internet and social media — you provide a platform for a lot of dumb, ignorant people."

White added that UFC officials have reached out to Mitchell and expressed that they were "beyond disgusted." However, when asked if Mitchell was facing any punishment, White cited the right to free speech and asserted that Mitchell could be duly punished by "getting his ass whooped" in the cage.

As Uncrowned's Ariel Helani noted, both Mitchell's comments and White's inaction are part of a larger pattern in MMA. Mitchell made the comments in question on his podcast:

Mitchell has been fighting in UFC since 2018, compiling a record of 17-2-0. His last match was on Dec. 7, 2024, when he knocked out Kron Gracie in the third round. His next fight has not yet been scheduled.
