Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy stole the spotlight at the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) 314 in Miami — not from the octagon, but from the stands — by trolling controversial fighter Bryce Mitchell after his humiliating second-round loss.

Portnoy, donning a kippah and proudly waving an Israeli flag, celebrated Mitchell’s defeat in theatrical fashion, sending a clear message in response to the fighter’s recent antisemitic tirades.

Mitchell had come under fire earlier this year after praising Adolf Hitler, denying the Holocaust on his “ArkanSanity” podcast, and spewing hate toward the Jewish community.

UFC CEO Dana White had previously blasted Mitchell’s remarks as “some of the most ignorant” he’d ever encountered in the sport.

Mitchell, whose comments sparked widespread backlash, was choked out by Brazil’s Jean Silva — an outcome many spectators saw as poetic justice.

Portnoy’s reaction went viral online, as he posted, “Always fun to see a Hitler lover get his ass whopped,” alongside footage of him celebrating with the Israeli flag.

The fight night drew a star-studded audience, including US President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Senator Ted Cruz, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio — all sitting ringside to take in the action.

While the evening featured high-stakes bouts like Alexander Volkanovski reclaiming the featherweight belt and Paddy Pimblett scoring a TKO over Michael Chandler, it was Portnoy’s bold protest that became the viral knockout of the night.

In an era where sports and politics often collide, Portnoy’s response to Mitchell’s hateful rhetoric sent an unambiguous message: there’s no room for Nazi sympathizers in the ring — or anywhere else.

Mixed martial arts has had its fair share of meaningful fights over the years. But none quite like this one, where timing and circumstance have conspired to create something that feels almost too perfect.

Just recently, featherweight Bryce Mitchell was interviewed on the debut episode of “ArkanSanity” and proceeded to torch his own reputation in spectacular fashion.

Between casual sips of whatever was in his cup, Mitchell declared Adolf Hitler was a “good guy” he’d love to hang out with.

“I really do think before Hitler got on meth, he was a guy I’d go fishing with. 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,” he said.

“They were gaying out the kids. They were queering out the women. They were queering out the dudes.”

“When you realize there’s no possible way they could’ve burned and cremated six million bodies, you’re gonna realize the Holocaust ain’t real.”

The interview dated Jan. 23 was quickly yanked from YouTube over violations of its hate speech policy while UFC CEO Dana White called it the dumbest thing he’s heard in his decades-long career.

“When you talk about Hitler, he was responsible for the death of six million Jews and he tried to completely eliminate a race of people,” White fumed during a pre-fight press conference on Feb. 1st.

“Hitler was one of the most disgusting and evil human beings to ever walk the face of the Earth. And anyone that even tries to take an opposing position is a moron.”

“That’s the problem with the internet and social media; you provide a platform for a load of dumb, ignorant people. We’ve obviously reached out to Bryce, and when we read what he said and let him know what we feel about it, we are beyond disgusted. For those of you who don’t know what’s going on, good, you’re lucky.”

Mitchell has since offered what amounts to a tap out of an apology.

“I’m sorry I sounded insensitive. I definitely was not trying to offend anybody, but I know I did. I know that a lot of people died in the Holocaust, and that’s a fact. In the future, I will be much more considerate when talking about the suffering of all peoples,” he wrote on Instagram.

“Hitler did a lot of evil things, I think we can all agree on that. I’m definitely not a Nazi, and definitely do not condone any of the evil things Hitler did.”

Now Mitchell’s headed to the PIT Submission Series on Feb. 28 to face Ilay Barzilay, and no publicist’s spin or half-baked apology can sanitize what this Denver fight represents.

Mitchell went fishing for a date with Hitler and now he’s got a date in the octagon with the living embodiment of Jewish survival.

The kind of poetic justice you can’t script, wrapped in four-ounce gloves and sanctioned by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White and Israeli UFC fighter Natan Levy slammed American featherweight Bryce Mitchell for “dumb” and “disgusting” comments he made this week, which included praising Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and denying the Holocaust ever happened.

“I’ve heard a lot of dumb, ignorant s—t in my day, but this one’s probably the worst,” White said during a press conference.

“Hitler is one of the most disgusting and evil human beings to ever walk the face of the earth, and anyone who even tries to take an opposing position is a moron. That’s the problem with the internet and social media — you provide a platform for a lot of dumb, ignorant people.”

He added that the UFC reached out to Mitchell regarding his comments and said the company is “beyond disgusted.”

Mitchell made a series of antisemitic and shocking comments during the first episode of his new podcast “ArkanSanity,” which he co-hosts with fellow Arkansas native Roli Delgado.

The two were discussing Elon Musk’s speech at Capital One Arena after US President Donald Trump’s inauguration earlier this month, and how Musk stretched his hand out to salute in a pose that many observers said was reminiscent of the Nazi salute.

“I honestly think that Hitler was a good guy based upon my own research, not my public education indoctrination,” Mitchell then said during the podcast episode, which aired on Saturday.

“I really do think, before Hitler got on meth, he was a guy to go fishing with. He fought for his country. He wanted to purify it by kicking out the greedy Jews out that were destroying his country … when he got on meth and turned on Russia, I believe that’s when he [Hitler] got full nutty.”

“W[as] Hitler perfect? No. But he was fighting for his people and he wanted a pure nation,” he added. “These Jews were controlling his country … and now that [Hitler] lost the war, he’s the bad guy.” Mitchell then went on to state, “I’m not a Nazi, I don’t love Nazis, I’m just saying they were in a bad spot and Hitler come to power.”

Levy responded to Mitchell’s comments in a series of posts on X/Twitter on Thursday. “Crazy how a guy blessed by God with so much success and opportunity chooses to pay it forward by spreading hate and division every time he gets a mic,” Levy wrote in one post.

“Anyway, next time you see me, you’re welcome to have a real conversation and actually learn about Judaism our history and culture, firsthand. Or, if you’d rather, you can call me a greedy Jew to my face, and we’ll see what’s up.”

He additionally offered to take his UFC rival to a Holocaust museum, to educate him about World War II, or even on a trip to Israel. Levy said he wants Mitchell to learn that “[Israel is] a beautiful land with people just like him, we don’t have horns, we don’t all conspire to take over the world, we just trying to live our lives and enjoy the sun.”

“I’ll make it simple for everyone, Keep my people’s name out your f—king mouth,” he added in another post on X. Levy said that for those defending Mitchell’s freedom of speech, his response was: “Yeah! every idiot is free to speak and I am free to tell them to shut the f—k up.”

During the podcast episode on Saturday, Delgado argued that Hitler was wrong for persecuting Jews, such as forcing them into Nazi concentration camps. In his response, Mitchell denied the Holocaust.

“That’s what your public education will tell you, Roli. Because you believe your public education. Because you haven’t done your own research,” Mitchell insisted. “When you realize there is no possible way they could have burned and cremated six million bodies, you’re gonna realize the Holocaust ain’t real.”

“History is HIS-story. History is written by the victor. Hitler lost so you didn’t get to hear his side of the war, you didn’t get to hear how the Jews took his country over,” he suggested.

“Do I believe that he tortured Jews to death and killed them and all this stuff for fun? No. I believe they were work camps and they starved to death because [Hitler’s] very army were starving to death … I don’t believe he’s that bad of a guy … Hitler — he was for freedom. Hitler just wanted to free his people. But we can’t talk about the Holocaust like it was a real thing because I don’t believe it. I don’t believe the bulls—t that they try to tell you at the public school.”
