UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell says he is “definitely not a Nazi,” backing away from antisemitic comments that he made on a podcast that drew widespread criticism.

The featherweight also praised Adolf Hitler and denied the Holocaust during his podcast appearance, in addition to making homophobic comments.

“I’m sorry I sounded insensitive,” Mitchell wrote on Instagram on Saturday. “I definitely was not trying to offend anybody, but I know I did. I know that a lot of people died in the Holocaust, and that’s a fact. Hitler did a lot of evil things, I think we can all agree on that. I’m definitely not a Nazi, and definitely do not condone any of the evil things Hitler did.”

UFC President and CEO Dana White called Mitchell’s podcast remarks “ dumb and ignorant.” White said the UFC let Mitchell know what he said was unacceptable, but that the organization would not take any disciplinary action, citing Mitchell’s freedom of expression.
