Dana White is reportedly furious with UFC featherweight athlete Bryce Mitchell. Mitchell has been trending recently but for all the wrong reasons. In a recent interview, the 30-year-old praised none other than the notorious dictator, Adolf Hitler! What’s more, Mitchell also termed Hitler as a ‘good guy.’ Such a statement got the entire UFC community buzzing. Quite expected, things did reach Dana White’s ears, too.
When asked about the incident, the UFC head honcho could not hide his anger. He immediately responded with strong words, even referring to the athlete as a ‘moron.’
“When you talk about Hitler, who’s responsible for the death of 6 million Jews, and he tried to completely eliminate a race of people… Second of all, Hitler is one of the most disgusting and evil human beings to ever walk the face of the earth, and anyone who even tries to take an opposing position is a moron,” said White.

Surprisingly, while most people anticipated the UFC to take disciplinary action against Mitchell, Dana White let him off the hook. Speaking about punishment, White pointed out that people must have freedom of speech.
“That’s what everyone wants to hear, about punishment, but it’s free speech…I don’t have to love it, you don’t have to love it, you know,” White stated.
Surely, things have become extremely complicated for Bryce Mitchell. But what exactly did he say to rile up an entire community?
