Over the years, the UFC community has seen its fair share of controversies involving the fighters who represent the organization. One notable example is UFC featherweight fighter Bryce Mitchell, who recently again found himself in trouble. This was due to antisemitic comments he made, which prompted a strong reaction from many people.

According to Bryce Mitchell, Adolf Hitler was not as bad a person as the world has portrayed him. Mitchell argued that the Nazi leader took necessary steps for the betterment of Germany. However, this perspective did not sit well with many people. Among the various reactions, UFC lightweight fighter Natan Levy seemingly made an intriguing proposal to Mitchell.

I ain’t scared of no one and I know Bryce isn’t either. I’ve been asking for a fight for a long time, so I’m down. I’m all for fighting with sportsmanship but willing to do it against haters too. I also offer to take Bryce to the Holocaust museum to educate him. or even to Israel to show him a beautiful land with people just like him, we don’t have horns, we don’t all conspire to take over the world, we just trying to live our lives and enjoy the sun.

Interestingly, Natan ‘Lethal’ Levy identifies as Jewish, despite being born in France. As an Israeli, Levy appeared to be offended by Mitchell’s antisemitic comments. Interestingly, Levy wasn’t the only one offended by Mitchell’s recent comments. Notably, even UFC CEO Dana White expressed his disgust regarding the featherweight fighter’s controversial statements.

However, White emphasized that the right to free speech has empowered individuals like Mitchell, allowing anyone to comment on any topic nowadays. Amid the criticisms, there were also some voices in support of the UFC featherweight fighter. It did not take long before Mitchell responded to the Jewish fighter.
