MMA fighter Bryce Mitchell has described Adolf Hitler as a ‘good guy’ and denied the Holocaust ever happened.
Mitchell, who currently competes in Dana White’s UFC, praised the former Nazi Party leader for wanting to ‘purify’ his native Germany from ‘greedy Jews’.
‘I honestly think that Hitler was a good guy based upon my own research, not my public education indoctrination,’ the 30-year-old said on his show ‘Arkansanity’.
‘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.’
When his co-host, Roli Delgado, replied that it was ‘bad to put a whole race into camps’, Mitchell claimed that Holocaust ‘ain’t real’.

Around 85 million people were killed in the Second World War, which was sparked by Hitler
Mitchell’s last fight was at UFC 310 on December 7, where he knocked out Kron Gracie
He continued: ‘That’s what your public education will tell you Roli, because you believe your public education because you haven’t done your own research.
‘When you realize there’s no possible way they could’ve burned and cremated six million bodies, you’re gonna realize the Holocaust ain’t real.’
Hitler presided over the systematic killing of six million Jews across Europe between 1941 and 1945.
Despite his claims, 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.’
There is little debate the Nazi dictator is one of the most evil men to have ever lived, with unprecedented depravity against people he didn’t think worthy of living under the Third Reich.
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.
Mitchell is 17-2 as a professional MMA fighter. His last fight was at UFC 310 in Las Vegas on December 7, where he knocked out Kron Gracie.
