UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell is facing backlash for making controversial statements, including defending Adolf Hitler and denying the Holocaust, while also claiming that his opponent Jean Silva has sent “demons” to haunt him in his dreams, amidst a heated build-up to their fight at UFC 314.
Bryce Mitchell seems to be on a downward spiral.
In a bizarre twist, the UFC fighter recently posted a video claiming he’s being haunted by “demons” and “beautiful women” in his dreams. He even suspects his upcoming opponent, Jean Silva, of sending these entities his way. Wild, right?
This isn’t the first time Mitchell’s words have raised eyebrows. He previously defended Adolf Hitler and called the Holocaust a hoax. Despite issuing an apology, he faced boos from fans at a UFC 314 press conference where Silva also gave him an earful.
But hey, all that drama aside, Mitchell and Silva will finally face off in the octagon on April 12 in Miami. Let’s see who settles the score.
Fans had plenty to say about Mitchell’s antics. Check out some of their reactions below, along with other top comments of the week.
