UFC featherweight Bryce Mitchell is off the punishment book but isn’t exactly off the hook for his anti-Semitic rants. That’s according to prime instigator Chael Sonnen, who knows a thing or two about the world. Mitchell ‘Heil-ed’ Hitler a bit too loud early yesterday. While brass has yet to shoot or boot, Sonnen says it’s not over yet.
UFC CEO and headman Dana White voiced his disgust over Mitchell during the Power Slap 11: Da Crazy Hawaiian vs. Dumpling 2 post-fight presser. White explained that he and the UFC’s official take was more than “yuck” on it being objectively disgusting. But contractually, Mitchell saying that the ‘Holocaust wasn’t a real historical event’ does not breach any laws or bylaws. Hardly a new thing from the controversial flat Earther who considers Mars to be a plotting plot. Sonnen has his take:
There’s no passes. … There’s other things you can do, there’s checks and balances. Mark my words, he’s having calls from whatever sponsors he’s got, he doesn’t have them anymore…in the best case scenario, they all got frozen – To pretend that there’s not a punishment, is not true. Do you need big brother to come in and hand him the ultimate ax? That’s a different conversation, …So please, let’s not pretend that Bryce has got away with something here. He most definitely did not.

Chael Sonnen, a Fight Wing UFC Hall of Famer (UFC 117 vs. Anderson Silva), knows the cogs of the world. Well, everything but that tapping means yielding, not the end of the round. He had an incident at university when he used the Nazi label to insult someone, but he was berated by his professor. Ever since he corrected his ways. “One does simply walk into Mordor“; on the same lines, Sonnen says one does not simply go past anti-Semitic commentary that easily.
Mitchell’s bear traps and UFC extracurricular deer-jitsu sessions didn’t pay off, as he went to do independent research and found Hitler a good guy. The 30-year-old featherweight lauded Hitler’s patriotism and ending alleged LGBTQ+ studies. Mitchell thinks his idea of purification of the country was noteworthy. A similar thought has now put him across from South African giant Elon Musk. Sonnen says there’s some hiding dues, the effects of which can already be seen.

As legend Demetrious Johnson once said, UFC’s quarterly fighter bonus incentive for driving social networking traffic was a milestone change. Now, viral names, GOATs, ‘Predators, ‘Cannibals’, and ‘Notorious’ fighters are well off for it. No one would go beyond mid-tier marquee scrambler if not for social media exposure.
However, said social media exposure can also pull someone down. Brash loudmouth UFC middleweight Sean Strickland averages +/- 5 followers daily on far-right anti-LGBTQ+ and racial rants. Those like Conor McGregor go to war with the Irish Civil Courts on a monthly basis, and his supporters keep dwindling. Only to come back hoping for a return. Now, Bryce Mitchell faces some downfall after his anti-Semitic commentary.
UFC’s resident foolhardy 145lber and his Hitler love made him lose 1.2K+ followers on IG; meanwhile, Mitchell gained 4.2K+ hype-pump yay-sayers filled with Redbull on X. That’s according to Former Exec Producer: The 7 Of Clubs/MMA columnist Jed I. Goodman on X.
