UFC, WWE combine to form $21.4B sports entertainment company “I’m sorry if I sounded insensitive,” Mitchell wrote on Instagram on Saturday. “I definitely was not trying to offend anyone, but I know I did.

I am definitely not a Nazi and do not support any of the terrible things Hitler did.” Oliveira stops Chandler, claims lightweight title at UFC 262 UFC President and CEO Dana White described Mitchell’s comments as “dumb and ignorant.” White stated that the UFC had made it clear to Mitchell that his remarks were unacceptable but confirmed that no disciplinary action would be taken, citing his right to freedom of expression.
