MMA News Roundup: Bryce Mitchell Faces No Punishment From Dana White, Michael Chandler Gives Up on Conor McGregor, Paul Brothers Ain’t Fighting

Bryce Mitchell recently made waves in the MMA world with his controversial statements about an infamous historical figure, raising questions about whether UFC CEO Dana White would take any action against him. What exactly did the #13-ranked featherweight fighter say, and how did White respond? Stay tuned as we bring you the latest episode of MMA Roundup.

From Dana White and Bryce Mitchell, we will move forward to Michael Chandler, who appears to have finally moved past Conor McGregor after what felt like never-ending saga. Finally, we will conclude our segment with a piece of information about the Paul brothers. So, without any further ado, let’s get started.

Bryce Mitchell might get no punishment from Dana White and UFC

While having a conversation on the debut episode of his podcast ArkanSanity, Bryce Mitchell sympathised with World War II villain Adolf Hitler. The featherweight fighter praised the way the former German leader ran his country, and even denied the Holocaust. “[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. There’s no possible way they could’ve burned and cremated six million bodies. You’re going to realize the Holocaust ain’t real,” said ‘Thug Nasty’.

His statements have been condemned by many within the community including veteran journalist Ariel Helwani. With regard to the UFC CEO Dana White, he said this, “That’s the beautiful thing about this business. For all of you who hate Bryce Mitchell, you get to see him hopefully get his a– whooped on global television.

He further issued a scathing attack on the Arkansas native, “What do you want me to say about it? You know where I am with free speech. We’re disgusted by it. I think he’s literally one of the dumbest human beings. Let’s not forget this is a guy that took a drill through his nutsack, then had to reverse it and pull the drill back out.”

However, from the looks of it, the featherweight fighter won’t be punished for his statements. And furthermore, Mitchell has yet to respond to all the hubbub. Regardless, let’s now move on to Michael Chandler, who finally seems to have dropped Conor McGregor off from his wishlist.

Michael Chandler lists out the opponents after his loss against Charles Oliveria

Michael Chandler waited approximately two years to face Conor McGregor, even doing a season of The Ultimate Fighter with the Irishman. However, McGregor ditched him when the fight was officially announced. Chandler and McGregor were supposed to clash at UFC 303 but ‘Mystic Mac’ pulled out of the clash due to a “pinky toe injury”. Heartbroken, ‘Iron’ Michael Chandler ended up Charles Oliveira in a losing effort at UFC 309, but despite the defeat, Chandler showcased that he is an entertaining fighter.

In a conversation with MMAJunkie, Chandler listed the opponents he’d like to face in the future: “Arman is a possibility because Dana said he’s going to have to build himself back with one more fight.” Looking beyond Conor McGregor, Chandler is also eyeing clashes with Tsarukyan and as well as Paddy Pimblett as well.

“Paddy is a fun fight. I think comparatively, the guys that I’ve fought – the murderers row – coming into the UFC, I welcome that fight. It’s a big fight. It’s a fun fight.” The former lightweight title contender, Chandler listen Beneil Dariush’ name as well. “Dariush, he had his opponent taken last fight,” Chandler said. “There are a lot of names. The UFC lightweight division is and has always been one of the most exciting, deep, and stacked divisions.”

Well, 2025 is here and the list of opponents for ‘Iron’ Michael Chandler is long. Now, let us now move to the Paul brothers, who might have just made a fool out of their collective audiences.

Jake Paul and Logan Paul are not fighting!

Jake Paul put out a cryptic post suggesting that he would box with his brother in March this year, however, now it appears that isn’t the case. While having a conversation with their audiences, the Paul brothers announced they’re launching their own reality TV series called Paul American which will air on MAX streaming services in March.

“Everything said beside the part of us beating each other’s a**es was true, maybe we’ll do that one day, but today, this is something we’ve waited our whole lives for,” said Logan. The series is set to provide an exclusive, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the lives of the Paul brothers and their families, with ‘El Gallo’ hinting at an in-depth look at his recent battle with Mike Tyson, among other exciting details.
