Bryce Mitchell has a fight. Last month, Mitchell found himself in hot water when he said he believed “Hitler was a good guy’ after doing his own research into the subject.
“I honestly think that Hitler was a good guy based on my own research, not my public education indoctrination. I do really think before Hitler got on meth, he was a guy to go fishing with,” Mitchell said.
“He fought for his country. He wanted to purify it by kicking the greedy Jews out that were destroying his country and turning them all into gays”
After his TKO win at UFC Seattle, Silva called out Mitchell to a fight over his anti-Semitic remarks.
“I think that Bryce Mitchell is somebody who would (lead to) a very good renewed contract if I beat him. Also, he’s a guy who fought Ilia and took him to the brink. It was toward the end the round. He’s a tough opponent that can be dangerous.
“As far as everything else (that Mitchell said recently), I think there are things that you can’t tolerate, especially when you’re a public persona and you say them out loud.”

On Wednesday, UFC CEO Dana White confirmed Mitchell will fight Silva at UFC 314 in Miami.
“Silva, who fought last weekend in Seattle and had an unbelievable performance in Seattle, immediately calls out Bryce Mitchell, Bryce Mitchell immediately texts Hunter Campbell and says I want the fight.”
