UFC featherweight competitor Bryce Mitchell has once again made headlines with controversial statements about tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, just days before his appearance at UFC 310 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
During an appearance on the ‘Believe You Me’ podcast with Michael Bisping and Paul Felder, Mitchell shared his unorthodox views about the Tesla CEO and various other topics.
“That chip is the mark of the beast…I’m telling you, that is the type of technology that the anti-Christ is going to put in people,” Mitchell declared, referring to Musk’s Neuralink company. “When you see a guy like Elon Musk putting chips in people’s brains, acting like he’s a doctor – his cars suck, he’s never been to space, he knows the Earth is flat and he’s a lying rat bast*rd…”
The 16-2 prospect didn’t stop there. He proceeded to make several extraordinary claims, including that NASA’s ultimate goal is to “fake an alien invasion” and that Mars, along with every other planet in the universe, “doesn’t exist.”
Mitchell also expressed strong opinions about Tesla vehicles and their connectivity features. “The reason he’s making electric cars is because he can shut your damn car off whenever you make a mean tweet,” he stated. “They’re going to get to the point where everything is so controlled that Elon Musk can press a button and you’re locked in it, or you just can’t start your car…My ’73 will run one of those pieces of sh*t Tesla’s off the road and crush it like a can of Coke – I’m just telling you.”
Known for his unconventional perspectives, Mitchell has previously made headlines for various controversial statements, including claims about being able to subdue a gorilla and describing 9/11 as a domestic inside job.
Mitchell is scheduled to face Kron Gracie on the main card of UFC 310. Despite the proximity of this important professional engagement, Mitchell seemed more focused on sharing his views about Musk and technology during the podcast appearance.
