In a surprising turn of events in the MMA world, UFC featherweight Bryce “Thug Nasty” Mitchell has leveled serious accusations against the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, claiming the tech mogul censored his content.
Mitchell, who is preparing to face Jean Silva at UFC 314 in Miami, shared these allegations during a recent interview with Jake Shields on YouTube, where he didn’t hold back his thoughts on the SpaceX founder.
“Elon Musk is the false prophet prophesied in Revelation, and he’s gonna implement the mark of the beast by a chip in the hand and a chip in the forehead,” Mitchell stated emphatically. “Like when you go to the store and it says pay with your palm. Get ready — it’s coming. And Elon Musk will bring it about.”
The controversial UFC star, known for his unorthodox views including beliefs that the world is flat and skepticism about seatbelts, added more serious accusations: “SpaceX is fake. He is of the devil. And he has all these people fooled, but I had discernment. He cannot fool me. He pulled my podcast. He’s not free speech. He canceled my podcast.”
This is especially funny because one of the only platforms you can still find Mitchell’s first pocast episode on is X.
Desoute controversial statements the podcast is still up on the platform.
Mitchell’s comments come at a time when Musk has been working closely with former President Donald Trump on government efficiency initiatives. This relationship appears to have intensified Mitchell’s criticism rather than softened it, as the star now describes Musk as “one-third of the Unholy Trinity that brings about the apocalypse.”
When asked about his upcoming opponent, Silva, who reportedly engaged in verbal confrontation with Mitchell during a UFC 314 press conference earlier this month, the star expressed contentment with the matchup.
“I don’t like fighting nice guys I like,” Mitchell explained. “I like fighting assholes that deserve to get punched, they deserve to get kicked, they deserve to bleed. And I’ll be happy to do that to the guy.”
Mitchell further claimed that Silva’s behavior at the press conference revealed something supernatural. “I do believe he’s possessed by demons,” he said. “I’ve been around people who are demonic. And what prompted him to maliciousness in the press conference was when I brought the name of Jesus up.”
The outspoken star continued his spiritual assessment: “He knows I said Jesus’ name and then he responded with maliciousness. He is demonic. He is no Christian. But, he still has hope. You know, after I beat the hell out of him, maybe he’ll wake up and maybe these demons will flee.”
While Mitchell refused to share what he called his “most controversial political opinion” during the interview, his statements about Musk have certainly raised eyebrows in both the tech and sports communities.
Neither Musk nor his representatives have responded to Mitchell’s claims about the alleged podcast cancellation at the time of reporting.
UFC 314 is scheduled to take place in Miami, Florida, with the Mitchell-Silva showdown being one of the featured bouts on the card.
