Israeli MMA fighter calls out rival UFC star Bryce Mitchell over disgusting Adolf Hitler remarks

Israeli MMA star Natan Levy has ripped into Bryce Mitchell over his outrageous comments about Adolf Hitler – and dared his fellow UFC fighter to repeat them to his face.

Mitchell, who has spent seven years in the UFC after winning ‘The Ultimate Fighter’  reality series in 2018, sparked anger on Thursday after claiming the former Nazi leader was a ‘good guy’ while denying the Holocaust ever happened.

The 30-year-old featherweight also commended Hitler for trying to ‘purify’ his native Germany from ‘greedy Jews’ who were ‘destroying his country and turning them all into gays.’

The disgusting remarks sent shockwaves through the MMA world, with UFC president Dana White branding his fighter ‘dumb and ignorant’ despite stressing his right to ‘free speech.’

And amid fury over his comments, Levy – who competes in the UFC’s lightweight division – has taken aim at Mitchell and challenged him to repeat the ‘greedy Jews’ line to his face.

‘The irony is wild – The guy who has a hard on for Floyd Mayweather and fantasizes about getting his way with him in a jail cell is accusing the Jews of the “queering” kids. I don’t think sodomy is very christian,’ the French-born Israeli wrote on X. 

‘Crazy how a guy blessed by God with so much success and opportunity chooses to pay it forward by spreading hate and division every time he gets a mic. Or is it the pressure to sound interesting and edgy on a podcast. well you got your headline man congrats. 

‘Anyway, next time you see me, you’re welcome to have a real conversation and actually learn about Judaism our history and culture, firsthand. 

‘Or, if you’d rather, you can call me a greedy Jew to my face, and we’ll see what’s up.’

Hitler, who remains one of the most evil men to have ever lived, presided over the systematic killing of six million Jews across Europe between 1941 and 1945. 

Around 85 million people were killed during the Second World War, a devastating and bloody conflict sparked by his relentless pursuit of a global empire. 

Despite his claims about Hitler, Mitchell insisted ‘I’m not a Nazi’, adding: ‘He (Hitler) ain’t perfect. I’m not a Nazi. I don’t love Nazi. I don’t want Nazis to win the war. I’m just saying they were in a bad spot when Hitler come to power.’ 

His comments provoked outrage among MMA fans and White addressed the controversy at a Power Slap press conference on Thursday.

Although he hinted Mitchell would face no punishment because of his right to free speech, the UFC president delivered a blistering takedown of his fighter.

White said: ‘I’ve heard a lot of dumb and ignorant s*** said over the years, but this is probably the worst.

‘First of all, when you talk about Hitler, he was responsible for the death of six million Jews and it was his intent to completely eliminate the Jewish people. And that’s a guy you would want to go fishing with?

‘And think about this, when you look at World War Two, it was the deadliest war in human history. In it’s entirety, you’re talking about a war that resulted in 15 million military deaths, and 45 million civilian deaths. That doesn’t include at least another 25 million soldiers that were wounded.

‘Second of all, Hitler is one of the most disgusting and evil human beings to ever walk the Earth, and anyone that even tries to take an opposing position is a moron. 

‘That’s the problem with the internet and social media. You provide a platform to a lot of dumb and ignorant people.

‘We reached out to Bryce immediately when we read what he said, and let him know exactly how we felt about it. But what he said was beyond disgusting and he needs a real education on the facts surrounding Hitler and World War Two.’
