Before the main card of UFC 272 happens tonight at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada between Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal, another fighter has already made headlines for giving his thoughts on the situation in Ukraine and the Biden family. Scheduled to fight Edson Barboza in the Featherweight bout, Bryce Mitchell sat down to do a small press conference on the upcoming fight and what to expect. While fighters are known to be passionate about their sport, Mitchell appeared more concerned about the current leadership in America and the narrative being told.
In the video, which is featured below, Mitchell stated plainly that he would not be willing to go and fight on foreign soil for a cause he doesn’t necessarily understand. He was sure to add that if the conflict was ever to come to the state of Arkansas, he would be more than willing to fight and defend what he loved, but as for Ukraine – the fighter stated that not only is he confused as to what is really happening but many others are too.
On top of hoping the tensions resolved quickly, Mitchell also harped on the Biden administration and even Hunter Biden about how they have used their political status to further their own personal interest. In a separate video, the UFC fighter also focused on the corruption surrounding the Federal Reserve and how 13 board members get to decide the value of the American dollar.
While Mitchell might be blunt with his answers, it should be noted this isn’t the first time he has made political comments. After winning a fight, Mitchell decided to use his time with the announcer to offer his services to former President Donald Trump. Take a look.

Correct, we do not know what is happening. Human beings are dying and that is absolutely wrong and unnecessary. Ukraine was formed by an ilegal CoupDeTat, it is hihhly corrupted. I do have the impression the president is trying to clean the country. The nation has been abandonned by Europe and USA. Russia is killing a lot of people. This is what we got.
