UFC featherweight Bryce Mitchell is no stranger to controversy. “Thug Nasty” is one of the most outspoken fighters on the promotion’s roster, but his opinions on Adolf Hitler drew national attention.
The first episode of his podcast “ArkanSanity” on YouTube, Mitchell sparked harsh criticism for his comments about history’s biggest villain. UFC CEO Dana White addressed the situation and was ‘ beyond disgusted’ by Mitchell comments. But what exactly did Mitchell say?
Nearing the end of the episode, co-host Roli Delgado asked Mitchell about the salute Elon Musk made during the inauguration. That’s how the topic of Hitler came up. What happened next was unexpected. Below is the full transcript of Mitchell’s comments.
“Here’s what I say about him hailing Hitler, or hailing the Nazis. I really don’t think that he was because I honestly think Hitler was a good guy based on my own research, not my public education indoctrination. I really do think before Hitler got on meth, he was a guy I’d go fishing with.
“He fought for his country. He wanted to purify it by kicking the greedy Jews out that were destroying his country and turning them all into gays. They were gaying out the kids. They were queering out the women. They were queering out the dudes. You know where the first tranny surgery in the world was? It happened to be in Germany before Hitler took over. You know the books that everybody makes fun of Hitler burning? You know what the books was? Queer books! Hitler burned queer books because Hitler didn’t want a bunch of queers destroying his nation. They can not produce children!
“When he got on meth and turned on Russia, I believe that’s when he kind of went full nutty. And I don’t think he was just like the best dude ever. And when I say I’d go fishing with him, I’m not saying he was the most trustworthy dude, or I’d love him or whatever. But at some point in Hitler’s life I don’t think he was that bad of a guy. I really don’t.
“Was Hitler perfect? No. But he was fighting for his people. Okay? And he wanted a pure nation with people – You know what the Jews was doing? They was charging interest. Christians aren’t allowed to do that… These Jews were controlling his country, bro.
“They were so cold and starving. They were using their valueless money as insulation. They were stuffing dollars in their jackets to stay warm. They were burning dollars in their wood stove. Hitler comes up and says, ‘Hey, I’m going to kick the Jews out of here’ because they’re killing us with their interest and then now that he lost the war he’s the bad guy.
“He ain’t perfect. I’m not a Nazi. I’m not a – I don’t love Nazis. I don’t want Nazis to win the war. I’m just saying, they were in a bad spot when Hitler came to power.”

Delgado pushed back against Mitchell’s comments and brought up the Holocaust and orchestrated genocide. Mitchell responded by denying that the Holocaust ever happened.
“That’s what your public education will tell you because you believe your public education because you haven’t done your own research,” Mitchell said. “When you realize there’s no possible way they could have burned and cremated six million bodies you’re going to realize the Holocaust ain’t real.
“What about the Bolsheviks when the Jews killed tens of millions of Christians? Awe, we don’t want to talk about that. Well, let me tell you about the Bolsheviks. It’s when these Jews come over and killed the sh*t out of all these Christians. And they don’t teach you that in your public indoctrination centers. That’s why Tucker (his son) is getting schooled on this farm because I’m going to tell Tucker the truth.
“The truth is, history is ‘his story’. And history is written by the victory. Hitler lost, so you didn’t get to hear his side of the war. You didn’t get to hear how the Jews took his country over. You didn’t get to hear about what they were doing. And do I believe that he tortured Jews to death and killed them and all this stuff for fun? No. I believe that they were work camps and that they starved to death because his very army was starving to death. You know why the lost the war? They ran out of fuel! They didn’t have food! They didn’t have fuel! They had ten million-plus prisoners. How are you going to feed them? You’re not. You’re losing a war. They’re going to die, and that’s what happened.
“And I don’t believe he’s that he’s that bad of a guy. I’m saying all of this about Hitler to say that, if anything, Elon Musk would be against Hitler because Hitler, he was for freedom. Elon Musk is for control. Elon Musk wants to put a chip up your ass and know every thought and control every movement that you make. Hitler just wanted to free his people in his prime. When he got on meth, I do think he went bad.
“We can’t talk about the Holocaust like it was a real thing in front of me because I don’t believe it. I don’t buy the bulls*t that they try to tell you at the public school.”
After denying that Holocaust happened, Mitchell then justified putting Japanese Americans in camps during World War II following the attack on Pearl Harbor.
“Let me justify that real quick,” Mitchell said. “It’s time of war that we kill those Japs. That we kill those Japs. Did you know that was a large Japanese prison in Arkansas? Arkansas housed a lot of Japanese prisoners during World War II… When World War II went down, when Pearl Harbor went down, we couldn’t trust none of the Japs. So, all the white people and all the black people rounded up the Japs in America and put them in concentration, not concentration camps. That’s a bad word. It was prisoner camps. They didn’t starve them, though. They treated them really well.
“I’m telling you, we put those Japs in camp because we had to for the safety of this nation, and you bet your ass we’d do it again if we had to. It was a different time, brother. It was a whole different time.”
“I’ve got to say too, I don’t hate Jews. I just think Zionists are evil and they’ll do anything that they can to claim back that land they believe is theirs and that they’re going to kill a lot of people to get it. And I don’t think all Jews are Zionists. And not all Jews are greedy. Just the ones will billions of dollars. So don’t take what I say and act like I can’t have a friend that’s Jewish. And don’t think for a second that there ain’t Jews out there that think Christians are subhuman.
“I have no hatred in my heart. I’ve never killed a Jew, bro, so don’t come out here and say that I’m some Jew hater, or some Muslim hater, or whatever because if I meet you at the airport and you’re saying hi and you ask for a picture, or we just want to talk, I’m going to treat you just like a person. I’m talking about groups of people that systematically control things. And there’s very few people that do that be them Muslims, Christians, or Jews, so I do want to say that for sure.”
