There's a lot of people out there that do agree with me but they can't say things that I get to say even though they think them. They'll get fired from their job if they come out and say it. Dana White's pretty good with how he lets us talk and say what we want."Check out the interview below:Bryce Mitchell explains why he wouldn't want to fight alongside American soldiers in the Russia-Ukraine warBryce Mitchell is clearly not a fan of his country's current administration, led by United States President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.During his UFC 272 media day interview, Mitchell explained why he doesn't wish to fight for Ukraine alongside fellow Americans in the ongoing war with Russia.ILANA Mercer@IlanaMercervideo.foxnews.com/v/630008141200… #BryceMitchell "Evil is what's taken over this nation, evil is what it is." twitter.com/IlanaMercer/st…ILANA Mercer@IlanaMercer#BryceMitchell is a beautiful soul.

We've got veterans out here sleeping on the street and you’re going to give our frickin’ tax dollars to these Ukrainians. Brother, I don’t know what’s going on over there, but I’m not going over there and fighting," Mitchell said.While his latest victory over Edson Barboza made a splash inside the cage and moved him closer to featherweight title contention, Bryce Mitchell also hasn't been afraid to make waves on the mic. It appears 'Thug Nasty' is the latest fighter to develop a reputation for making controversial remarks.
