UFC President Dana White has found himself at the center of a controversial discussion following remarks made by UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell regarding Adolf Hitler. During a recent media appearance, Mitchell expressed admiration for Hitler, which sparked outrage among fans and commentators alike. White, who initially condemned the comments as ‘beyond disgusting’, stated that he would not cut Mitchell from the UFC, citing a commitment to free speech. ‘Regardless of whether you like it or not, I have to protect these guys’ rights to say what they want,’ White explained. The backlash against Mitchell’s comments has been substantial, with many calling for his removal from the organization. However, White reaffirmed his stance, saying, ‘In America, we have the First Amendment.’ This incident has raised significant debates about the boundaries of free speech within the sports community and how organizations like the UFC handle such controversial figures. The fallout continues as fans and fellow fighters react to Mitchell’s views and White’s decision.
