UFC president Dana White has condemned comments made by fighter Bryce Mitchell about Adolf Hitler as “beyond disgusting”.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The featherweight fighter, 30, said he thought the German dictator was a “good guy” and repeatedly denied that the Holocaust<\/a><\/strong> happened during the first episode of his podcast, ArkanSanity.<\/p>\n

Addressing the comments at a news conference on Thursday, White said Mitchell “needs a real education on the facts surrounding Hitler and World War Two”.<\/p>\n

He said: “Hitler is one of the most disgusting and evil human beings to ever walk the face of the Earth and anyone that even tries to take an opposition position is a moron.<\/p>\n

“That’s the problem with the internet and social media. You provide a platform to a lot of dumb and ignorant people.”<\/p>\n

White added that UFC<\/a><\/strong> immediately reached out to Mitchell and “let him know exactly how we felt about it”.<\/p>\n

Despite the comments, he will not face disciplinary action, White said, citing freedom of expression.<\/p>\n

Mitchell has been fighting in the UFC, the largest promotion of mixed martial arts, since 2018 and won his last fight against Brazilian Kron Gracie in December.<\/p>\n

Sports journalist Ariel Helwani, who is known for reporting on mixed martial arts, criticised his comments on X, writing: “Each and every day MMA finds a way to reach a new low. A new way of embarrassing itself and those who are fans of it.<\/p>\n

“Nothing will be done, and I don’t even care if anything is done. Say what you want. It just continues to baffle me at how unbelievably stupid – not to mention bigoted – some of the people in the sport or associated with the sport can be.”<\/p>\n

The UFC is a mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion company that hosts fights around the world.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
