UFC featherweight Bryce Mitchell is no stranger to making inflammatory statements, and he’s let fly with another doozy regarding Anthony Joshua’s recent car crash, which saw two of the heavyweight boxer’s friends killed.
While Joshua survived the crash, he will no doubt not be happy to read the headlines about Mitchell’s comments. Nor will Jake Paul, as apparently, Mitchell believes Paul orchestrated the crash.
“If you don’t let Jake Paul win, he’s gonna kill you nine days later,” Mitchell said in a video posted to Instagram, adding “or just kill your two best friends. But somebody’s gonna die if you don’t let him win.”
It’s worth noting that none of Paul’s other opponents have come to any form of harm, unless you want to count Ben Askren, who years later required a double lung transplant after suffering severe medical issues. Nor did Mitchell provide any evidence to back his claims.
Alongside the video, Mitchell added a comment stating “jake and logan both made fun of me. (because im (sic) “racist and evil”) funny how they say they love Jesus but post gay sh*t all day. their fites (sic) r fixed, wake up.”
Mitchell has become known for anti-LGBTQ views and for comments suggesting that Hitler was actually a “good guy” who you’d want to go fishing wish. That led UFC CEO and President Dana White to label Bryce “one of the dumbest human beings ever.”
Somehow, Mitchell continues to exceed expectations in all the wrong ways.
Prior to his fight with Anthony Joshua, which he lost via stoppage (leaving him with a jaw reportedly broken in two places), Paul had threatened to sue anyone making “fixed fight” claims.
