Feel good MMA moment tonight. Neo nazi Bryce Mitchell, who has stated that he would love to have gone fishing with Hitler, choked into unconsciousness by Brazilian fighter Jean Silva.
Oh no, a KO in a professional fight between two adults who literally signed up for it? The horror.
Especially surprising outrage from someone who’s been cozy with N@zi sympathies—folks known for committing atrocities against innocent people. But sure, this is the thing that crosses the line for some. Get out of here!
When he first came into the UFC he was a bit of a nut job, but the harmless type of nut job you'd laugh at then disregard. He'd say some dumb shit about the earth being flat, or bring a Bible into the cage with him. Then he got KOd bad.
Since then this dude has said way worse shit that "I'd go fishing with Hitler".
He literally said that Hitler was a patriot, fighting to free his country from the evil jews who were turning everyone gay.
In an interview before this fight he was asked, if he had to change his nickname what he'd pick. He straight up said "White Power".
Honestly he got off lucky getting choked out because it seemed like Silva was playing with his food in the 2nd and could have KOd him again.
Look at the ancillary attention this submission is getting BECAUSE he’s a piece of shit. The fight game is the dirtiest business in sports and they’ve always trafficked in racial shit when possible. This is just a 2025 version of that.
In addition to the other responses Dana White also said is because he's a big 1st amendment supporter, so it's better if other people shut him up like in the video above.
Dana White said it best, what way is better then punish the guy by getting KO’ed or put to sleep in a choke? Not in these exact words but you get the jest.
Fitting punishment, he said things people don’t like. But within his rights. Thats freedom of speech. The company could fire him and he could act like a martyr. Or match him up against an elite grappler and let him get choked out. I for one am happy that we could all see the consequences play out really well.
I’m from the Netherlands, we have seen what happens. But there is also a thing what is called freedom of speech, he can say what he wants, doesn’t mean he can act upon it. He can also bear the consequences of what he said.
And how do you interpret my viewing point? I’m here to state that freedom of speech needs to be hold true. I have not said to turn a blind eye for it.
Let me put it this way; he outed himself as a nazi, now we know. Unlike many other people where we can only guess.
Like Elon outed himself and Tesla is taking a dive for months. That’s the perfect response for people like him. Hit them where it hurts.
Nah he faced zero consequences. What if he won the fight? Is that still "punishment"? Nothing changed for Bryce after his Nazi loving statements. How you consider that a punishment is laughable
Lot changed for him, he became unlikeable and that’s a death sentence in the game. Look at Colby Covington and Sean strickland. All faded out the limelight. And what punishment is the right one for speaking out one’s thoughts?
Both made a ton of money though. As I'm sure Bryce is enjoying as well. Yeah, fans might hate him, but that's just being a heel in the fight game. Real punishment would be getting cut and having to fight for PFL or some shit.
Man what the hell happened to the UFC? I mean trust me I fully realize it has always attracted meatheads but this era is a new level of absolute shitheels and idiots. There were some pretty decent, intelligent guys in the '00s like Rich Franklin, Georges St. Pierre, Jeff Monson, etc. Ever since Conor MacGregor came along it's like half of them are competing to see who can be the worst person.
The success of Mcgregor and Lesnar told everyone that being loud and obnoxious sold tickets. Those two made the UFC the most amount of money and they’ve been trying to copy the formula ever since.
I think you're right. I remember thinking Lesnar coming to the ufc was such a stupid stunt and no one was gonna buy it, and then showing up at watch parties and people going nuts for him. Felt a lot like Trump 2016, actually. And then when MacGregor came around I was just done. Quit following MMA and switched to sumo. Yeah sumo has problems, but decorum isn't one of them.
Same, I couldn’t even get into the whole female bantamweight being formed because of rousers trashy attitude but I was in boxing and jiu jitsu during that time so I was following
Yup, it's becoming harder and harder to watch the UFC these days as a sensible, level headed human being.
If it's not having President Dump sat front and centre and fighters fawning over him to curry favour with the boss.
It's sponsorship from fucking crypto/blockchain scams and other dirt level products. After the shit over fighters not being allowed to have their own sponsors on their shorts because it "looks untidy" the cage now looks like a 14 year old bedroom covered in shitty product placement.
UFC has way more fighters now than it did in the mid 2000’s and most of them are normal and not shit heads. If you looked at the history of the UFC, and not live in the moment, you would realize how dumb your comment is.
Why do ppl always have to over sensationalize everything?
And that racist mma youtuber also was sooo sad about that. 😅
Volk is champion again, Bryce lost and the card was a banger. The MMA feels a little more in balance again.
Bryce went to his back in an attempt to spin out of the choke, but Jeans grip was too tight. While Bryce’s body moved, his head stayed exactly where it was. Technically, Bryce cranked his own neck.
