Bryce Mitchell, a UFC fighter known for his contentious statements, has recently criticized former President Donald Trump, claiming he feels ‘tricked’ by him. Previously, Mitchell had been vocal in his support for Trump, even expressing willingness to ‘take a bullet’ for him. The 31-year-old from Arkansas, who has a history of endorsing conspiracy theories, now suggests that Trump resembles the ‘anti-Christ’ more than he initially thought.

In a recent Instagram video, Mitchell, who has controversially spoken about Adolf Hitler in a positive light, declared, “I’m not with Donald Trump no more.” He elaborated, “I don’t support him, I don’t like him, I think he’s a corrupted leader.” This marks a significant shift from his earlier stance in December 2024, when he praised Trump for his decision-making abilities. Reflecting on his change of heart, Mitchell admitted, “He talked a good game. He tricked me. I was fooled. I admit it.”

Mitchell’s discontent with Trump largely stems from issues that align with his more radical views. One of his main criticisms is Trump’s handling of the Epstein files. “The first thing for me was he didn’t release the Epstein files – they’re even acting like they didn’t exist,” Mitchell stated in the video. This topic has sparked bipartisan interest, with both Democrats and Republicans urging for transparency regarding the documents related to the notorious sex offender.

Mitchell wasn’t done: ‘They’re sending Israel and Ukraine all of our tax dollars, just like the numbnuts before him did. And now he’s blaming the beef farmers for the price of beef.’ Toward the end of the video, Mitchell pointed to a Bible verse to describe Trump, saying, ‘I want you to get into Revelation 13:3 and I want to you to read that verse, yeah, about the anti-Christ. I do think that Donald Trump is that beast of Revelation 13:3.’

That chapter of the Book of Revelation refers to a monster ‘having seven heads and ten horns’ – with the third verse referencing how ‘the whole world followed after the beast’. Despite his newfound distaste for the President, the top pinned post on his Instagram page is still a gallery of photos of him at Trump’s Second Inauguration back in January – with a caption that reads, ‘i had the experience of a lifetime celebratin the inaguration [sic]’.

Mitchell has a career MMA record of 18-3. So far this year, he’s defeated Said Nurmagomedov and lost to Jean Silva. Before his fight against Silva, Mitchell claimed that the Brazilian fighter was possessed by a ‘legion of demons’ who had been ‘attacking me every single time I sleep’.
