UFC featherweight Bryce Mitchell made International headlines for his recent remarks about Adolf Hitler. In an interview on the MMA Guru podcast, Mitchell bashed the media and said he’s not afraid to talk about his ‘German heritage.’
“I have German heritage, and I’m not afraid to talk about my German heritage. I never said Hitler was perfect, but I’m just telling you there is more to the history than what you learn in school. And I’m not afraid to talk about my people’s heritage,” Mitchell said.
“Yes, Hitler did some dumb sh*t. He invaded Russia in the winter. How dumb does it get? Do you see what I’m saying,” continued Mitchell. “All I’m saying is I never hurt nobody. I’ve never hated nobody. I never produced any hate speech. You will not find it. And anybody that wants to debate me, they can come and get schooled. And bring a notepad and a pencil because you’re going to have to write down the sh*t that I say because there’s so much of it that you won’t be able to take it all in at once.”
“People can come out and call me an inbred retarded. And both of those are completely untrue statements. I mean, we can scientifically prove I’m not inbred and I’m not retarded. People say it, and there’s no problem with it, but I talk about my German heritage and now I’m this, and I’m that, and I’m evil.”
Mitchell took aim at the MMA media and media in general for their coverage of his controversial statements.

“The hell with all you fake journalists. You’re entertainers at the least. And you’re bought and paid for and you’re cowards that won’t have me on their show, that won’t talk to me face-to-face because you have no nuts. When you have no nuts, you’re just a b*tch, and that’s what these people are. I don’t care what they have to say about me… I’m confident in my history,” said Mitchell. “Once again, I hate no group of people, and you’ll never hear me say that. I never did you coward, rat b*stards.”
“None of these cowards that belittled me in the media will debate me because that’s what they are. They’re not journalists. They’re bought and paid for and they’re bent over by the big man. And they take it. And I don’t. I say the truth.”
