White called Mitchell's remarks "dumb" and "ignorant," going on to question the fighter's intelligence but seemingly defending his right to free speech.

The 30-year-old has launched his own ‘ArkanSanity’ podcast and begun the first episode by saying his goal is for ‘everybody to worship Jesus Christ’ and set out his religious beliefs by saying: ‘I believe the Bible is literally true, word for word.’

Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White said comments made by featherweight fighter Bryce Mitchell about Adolf Hitler were "beyond disgusting".
