MMA: Blood and Blood Libel
Preface: For anyone new to this blog, I make a distinction between "Palestine Supporters," a movement pushing a sharia state where Jews are forbidden, and Palestinians, Levant Arabs who identify as Palestinian (not Jordanian, Israeli, Arab etc). Palestine Supporters masquerade as being concerned with Palestinian suffering, while they openly call for more suffering. Treating Arabs like pawns is not going to Free Palestine.
I am friends with, work with and am surrounded by Arab Israelis and Palestinians IRL. We often discuss our mutual hate for Palestinian State Supporters. We are fed up with the blind portrayal of misogynistic terrorist orgs as freedom fighters. Palestine Supporters possess zero genuine concern for Palestinians.
1. Adversaries
The name Jon Jones is well known in the MMA community. Considered one of the greatest fighters in the sport, his name remained unknown to me, a person who doesn't know much about any sport. I was introduced to him when a friend sent me a video Jon Jones himself posted to IG. It features Jones, an American man, attending his Jewish American friend's son's bar mitzvah. The comments are what I have come to expect when there is any mention of Jews post-2021:
The site of a bar mitzvah, a Jewish rite, deeply offends these particular Palestine Supporters. Upon checking the post a month later, not even one comrade of these Palestine Supporters called out this behavior as misguided, providing evidence that Palestine Support is a dog whistle.
Instead, hundreds of people flocked to comment that Jon Jones was ‘bought by the Jews,’ a ‘good Goy’ and ‘got’ by the Jews. Others used “Free Palestine” slogans as their stand-in for overt racism. The intent was the same. To take one example at random, you may judge what user alessandro_nichol, an MMA fighter himself, meant by his comment, “Bending the knee”.
This obsession with harassing Jews isn’t unique to MMA fans. They’re just today’s topic. Any mention of Jews leads to these “Palestine Supporters” having knee-jerk reaction, typically a violent outburst, or a comment hinting at Jewish conspiracy theories, or, for those not brave enough to cop up to being racist, a Free Palestine chant, emoji or GIF. The language of racist losers is not coherent English, but rather parroted slogans, some non-verbal. As another completely random example, below are comments on a meme.
Note: The meme is about a “Jewish salamander,” so the other comments were primarily about how it’s a gecko, not a salamander. The ‘keyboard warriors’ are very comfortable correcting that a gecko is not a salamander, but deeply fearful of correcting the jihadis who ranted about Israel and Zionism here.
Again, I’m displaying some of their profiles so you can see these people are ordinary. They’re not paid propagandists and bots. Sure, they’re useful idiots, but they think what they’re doing helps Arab refugees.
They don’t always spell it out, “We associate Jews as blood drinking reptilian people.” Some do. User juverillo, Julia Verillo Campello, is a vegan, who dreams of a better world. And she fights for this world by commenting Free Palestine emojis on mentions of Jews. User rocky_mountain87, a self-appointed historian, Odiseo, simply wrote "G3nocid3mander". Very clever and not forced at all! [/s] User jquellinst228 (a great nod to Key & Peele), Jackie, who's profile simply says, "i hate fascists", also was deeply compelled to share a Free Palestine comment… on any mention of Jews. And nobody called them out for this behavior, which signalled to them that they’re fighting fascism one comment at a time.
Of course, if these lunatics stepped back for a second, they’d note that their comrades ranting about Zionism and Israel on memes (or videos of bar mitzvahs) are doing no favors to the blatant lie that their movement is not antisemitic. As I’ll show throughout this essay, even the most blatant antisemites, those who are convinced that every Jew is connected to Jeffrey Epstein, who they may claim as a Mossad agent because, why not?, think they’re anti-racist, good guys, just asking questions.
We are not dealing with honest or intelligent individuals. We are dealing with Palestine Supporters. To get ahead of myself, the first MMA Palestine Supporter I will describe says he admires Hitler, but also, he has Jewish friends, and they admire Hitler too. We are dealing with the sort of people who genuinely think Jewish Voices for Peace is Jewish and peaceful, because they say so, and that’s enough.
Seeing John Jones receive hate for simply being near a Jew reminded me of the treatment for my deceased friend, Aaron Rajman, a Black-Jewish MMA fighter who wrapped Tefillin right before matches, helped organize local MMA leagues and trained Floridian police on how to disarm people with guns. Aaron was ultimately shot during a poorly coordinated home invasion, performed by easily manipulated teens. Rajman was one of the kindest men I've known, and one of many tough Jews we could use today. His family and friends miss him.
When I see Aaron’s communities fighting, I wish I could turn to him to ask how we combat this. How can we get the MMA fandom to learn that casual racism is not OK? Instead I’ve learned that there sometimes is no way to defend yourself. You can be trained to disarm someone with a gun, and they can still shoot. Likewise, we can try to be friendly or mean to bigots, and they can still hate.
The best we can do is educate without proselytizing. Listen when these lunatics say, “Kill them all!” in beween rants about who they insist is dehumanizing. I feel the people I call out are deeply racist people, who are manipulated themselves, but repeating this will only lead to the classic Palestine Supporter retort, “I know you are, but what am I?” They genuinely believe they’re not racist. Let them bathe in delusion.
With that, the following is an overview of the massive antisemitism problem in the MMA world.
2. At Least They’re Honest?
MMA is undoubtedly entertaining. It’s become a massive sport, with massive influence. It also has a serious problem of attracting bigots. My lack of subject matter expertise means I can not assess where so many hateful fighters come from. I am simply stating facts, to illuminate that the “I’m a good guy, trust me!” accompanied by crocodile tears for Gaza are dishonest. These people told the world who they really are.
I am not suggesting that there is some ‘hate group to MMA’ pipeline. Nor am I suggesting that getting punched in the face a lot makes someone racist. You can try to determine the why.
There were two viral stories regarding Palestine Support in MMA over the last year:
Bryce Mitchell, a far-right Christian and flat-Earther, admitted he loves Hitler, hates the Jews, hates the LGBT+ (he blames the Jews for them), and, of course, loves Palestine. [Source: Newsweek, https://www.newsweek.com/what-did-bryce-mitchell-say-hitler-comments-ufc-2023997]. Here’s a taste of MMA star Bryce Mitchell, again, in his own words, not mine, “I honestly think that Hitler was a good guy based upon my own research, not my public education indoctrination. 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. They were gaying out the kids. They were queering out the women. They were queering out the dudes.”
Belal Muhammad made a big stink about how the MMA "refused" to show him in front of the "Palestinian" (cough cough, Ba'ath) Flag. Belal had waved his flag in the ring for years, despite Palestine Supporters insisting it never happened. But Belal didn’t like that his actual birthplace, Chicago, USA, was depicted on TV. [Source: The Independent, https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/ufc/belal-muhammad-flag-palestine-ufc-b2712214.html]
The next lunatic I discuss, Sean Strickland, wrote in 2024, “I’m so sick of seeing foreign flags in America.. I don’t get it. You left your corrupt country to come to the USA and yet you still rep what you fled? The worst is Hispanics born in America flying a Mexican flag.. Where is your loyalty.. Just go back.. Enjoy your foreign flag” Belal and Sean should discuss who cares more about flags over tea with each other.
Bryce Mitchell, like so many bigots I dealt with, claims to know a lot of Jews and not be antisemitic:
I could get into these two brain damaged fighters, but it's too easy. Focusing on Bryce Mitchell and Belal Muhammad misses out on so many other problematic MMA fighters. I'll just share screenshots of comment sections from recent mentions of Bryce Mitchell. Much like Jones's post above, the comments make it evident why some people flock to support Palestine, and that “Free Palestine” has nothing to do with wanting to get rid of honor killings and gender apartheid.
Here are some comments from the Bryce Mitchell and Sean Strickland fans as examples (with some of their profiles shown):
Bryce and Belal may have a great discussion about their "Jewish Problem" but we can largely ignore them and move on. It's the people around them who are more problematic. They’re the ones seeking to validate and popularize such behavior. Bryce and Belal say what they mean, but their Palestine Supporter fans are the ones who mask it with just enough mental gymnastics to make it digestible.
Take for example, Sean Strickland. Sean influences millions of MMA fans. Some of these fans recognize Bryce as indefensible, or excuse Belal because of his Arab heritage, but defend Sean. In June 2023, Sean said, "We need to go back to taking women out of the workforce." In Oct 2023, "If I said my views on transgenders I would get kicked off Instagram." [Source: Sportskeeda, https://www.sportskeeda.com/mma/news-ufc-s-sean-strickland-goes-unhinged-sexist-rant-taking-women-out-work-force] He shares these opinions with millions of people.
Sean occasionally feigns to be more woke than Bryce, but they’re virtually the same threat to the minorities they scapegoat. For example, Sean called Bryce an idiot, but then criticized Bryce for apologizing for his antisemitic comments, suggesting instead that Bryce should stand by his statements. [Source: MMA Mania, https://www.mmamania.com/2025/2/4/24359063/video-sean-strickland-kkk-joke-bryce-mitchell-hitler-du-plessis-ufc-312] Sean Strickland, the person dubbed "UFC's biggest imbecile" by one Australian newspaper, flocks to defend Bryce Mitchell, especially when the alternative is Dave Portnoy, a Jew.
Recently, Jewish entrepreneur David Portnoy brought an Israeli flag to a match (which Bryce lost). Portnoy’s statement was a reminder that Jews and Israel are inseparable, no matter how desperate our haters, especially bad journalists and Qatar paid influencers, try. And so UFC's biggest imbecile chimed in: "I really don't care much about the rest of the world. It could all burn for all I care. But... the irony of Barstool Sports guy openly attacking Bryce for being a fucking idiot. Meanwhile, when a hospital gets leveled with kids in it—utter silence lmao!"
I tend to not follow up mentions of tragedy with LMAO. Was the LMAO because he thinks hospitals are not getting leveled? Or because he realizes how ridiculous his comparison is? Why exactly do Palestine Supporters follow up their very serious political commentary with catchphrases and lols? My guess is that they’re not that serious about the things they say, just hoping to toss off some commentary to get some likes. Who knows?
Here’s what we do know: Sean admits he does not care if the world burns. And that is a common take of “misanthropes for Palestine,” including the next few I discuss. They are really, really focused on helping Gaza, but, also, they think IDF and Hamas are equally bad, Russia-Ukraine is complex, and we can nuke every country with impunity, but if Gaza has a death toll it’s 100% the Jew’s fault. Any mention of how much you hate religion, people, basic rights for women, democracy, Jews, or whatever, can be followed with “Free Palestine” and it is suddenly validated with likes.
Side note: There are tons of bigotted comments all over the interent, including anti-black, anti-asian, homophobic and transphobic comments. It’s absurdly dishonest to claim there are major repercussions for being a bigot when “Free Palestine” and anti-trans topics have regularly trended for the last five years. If you want to see real censorship, simply post an image of the Grand Mufti or Arab child soldiers. Good luck.
Image is Low Effort Zionist Memes (LEZM Gang) (Says it at the top). As one fan, globalreconreportllc , wrote, “The situation between India and Paksitan seems serious, but I’ll wait tof rom an opinion until Comic Dave Smith finishes reading the Wikipedia article about it.”
3. Shock Jock Posers & Hate Group Leaders
The edge-lord sorts I named above are unified by one person: a failed MMA fighter named Jake Shields. When losing matches didn’t pay off, Jake picked up a podcasting career where he interviews fellow bigots. I'm told Jake is entertaining. He's widely known for Holocaust denial, having openly said things like, "I don’t think a single Jew died in gas chambers." Jake, of course, is a big Palestine Supporter. Jake LOVES to rant about how the Jews are deliberately destroying Palestine, right in between rants about how women are inferior to men, Jews controlled the slave trade, Jews caused 9/11 (which was also a false flag operation). He has frequently interviewed KKK leader and fellow Palestine Supporter David Duke. [Source: SPLC, https://www.splcenter.org/resources/hatewatch/podcast-platforms-host-jake-shields-bigotry] [Source 2: https://www.thejc.com/news/usa/former-grand-wizard-of-the-kkk-sides-with-pro-palestinian-activists-at-hate-convention-r59eebbg ]
Jake is not the only person who performed poorly in their profession, then found podcasting could boost interest in the least interesting people. Jake hangs out with the likes of Nick Fuentes, another edgy streamer (not to be confused with podcasting!), who thinks the Holocaust was made up, Jews control the politicians, and, of course, “Free Palestine!” From what I’ve gathered, much of Nick’s fanbase assumes he is a closeted gay virgin [Source: https://medium.com/sexstories/is-nick-fuentes-gay-5adff43b124d ]. I'm not anti-LGBT or anti-virgin in the slightest, so I'm saying this with pure love for my haters: I hope Nick eventually comes out, is disavowed by Jake and the gang, and finds his real family, “Queers for Palestine.”
Daryl Cooper (@martyrmade) and Dave Smith are two newer names to the “Palestine Supporter” list, who are just a bit less honest than Jake and Nick about their admirtion for Nazis. As in, Daryl will post a picture with his Nazi cup, but then he will delete it. They would rather have Jake and Nick on their podcasts saying the things they want to say than say it themselves. Daryl, Dave, Nick and Jake are all Russiaphiles who openly defend the civilian deaths in Ukraine, insisting that NATO forced Russia to invade. Conversely, they are deeply concerned with Gaza, where they insist Israel is doing unspeakable evil, hidden only by the death toll being 15 times less than that of Ukraine. If you dare mention Ukraine to these guys, you’re distracting from Gaza.
For context, Daryl does not claim to be a historian, he just has a history podcast. This distinction came up recently from Dave, his biggest fan, who insists we should respect the words of non-historians with history podcasts, especially becasue the experts got COVID wrong, as opposed to those who ‘did their own research’ and were convinced that the vaccines are lethal. Sure, actual historians have called out Daryl for his ahistoric takes, and better comedians, like the regulars of the Comedy Cellar, have called out Dave Smith as being a racist hack. But for those who start with a conclusion and then search for support, these sort of names are cannonized alongside Candice Owens and other names I wish we didn’t know.
Let’s recap: There are the proud white Nazis like Bryce, Arab Nazis like Belal. Then there’s the "used to be a racist skinhead” like Sean, too dumb to realize he still is one. Jake, Nick, Dave and others are desperate to act like the shock jocks of the late 80s and 90s radio, but unfortunately neither have the humor or the wit—just the overt racism. And Daryl, lacking humor, is a history podcaster. Again, my concern is bigger than them.
The biggest problem is not the loud mouthed racists. It’s the lack of accountability. All these people I mentioned have even more influential friends, who either don’t have the courage to call out their friends, or, more likely, silently agree, but are so greedy, they fear pushback for admitting so.
Jake Shields came from the Nick and Nate Diaz crew out in California. Neither Nick nor Nate would dare call out Jake.
Joe Rogan has promoted the voices of all the aforemention people, from the Diaz Brothers to the crypto-scamming streamers. As the on and off #1 podcast, Rogan has a louder voice than any. Rogan brings on diverse guests too, so he’s considered reasonable. He will have Gad Saad or Douglas Murray rebut dangerous, antisemitic takes, and only sometimes, he pokes fun of these guests in the following episode, when they’re not there
Joe Rogan is passed off as a free speech advocate. If Rogan allows one guest to defend Israel for every ten guests who say Israel drinks the blood of Christian and Muslim babies, he’s just doing his job. Right? If he has one real doctor for every ten quacks, including one who says Polio is made up, he’s vindicated of blame. That’s the narrative we’re told by so many Jewish comedians and influencers afraid to anger him.
So, sure, a decade ago, Rogan claimed IDF soldiers raise and then murder kittens—a bizarre, gross claim for an army that is regularly rescuing abused animals. But he had Coleman Hughes on one time. So why apologize for a viral clip he never corrected?
All of this is festering.
4. Big Guns
Bryce and Sean are kind of nobodies when compared to Tyson Fury, a great fighter, who was filmed in 2016 ranting about the "Zio Jews." Tyson said, “... be brainwashed by all the Zionist, Jewish people who own all the banks, all the papers, all the TV stations.” Yes, one of the greatest fighters of all time believes the same false narratives that Hitler wrote about.
Fury followed up by not apologizing for his words, but rather for offending people, a fun way of saying that you believe what you said and won't change. He then said, “I am in no way a racist or bigot” which totally clears it up! [/s] [Source: Times of Israel, https://www.timesofisrael.com/boxer-tyson-fury-who-accused-jews-of-brainwashing-apologizes/]
I'm always baffled by claims of Jewish mind trickery and brainwashing, since so much of the legacy media hates Israel's guts. NY Times hates Israel enough to publicly insist they should not apologize when they falsely report on the conflict, like when they pinned an Islamic Jihad attack on Israel. NPR echoed this sentiment that journalism comes second to supporting intifada. I doubt any sane person opens flips on Al Jazeera or BBC and thinks there is a pro-Israel bias. But, again, we're dealing with irrational actors who get punched in the head for a living.
Tyson has gone under the radar as a bigot for a while now. Either people forgot that he insinuated the Jews control all the banks or they believe his apology, “I don’t hate Jews. I just spread false conspiracies about them!”
It raises an issue we keep seeing: who knows what Jew haters really believe. Are they so incapable of accountability they believe Jews have magical powers to brainwash people? Do they really think Jewish lobbyists are the only “foreign” funding, but CAIR and Qatar money is irrelevant? I’d wager the average person can be coerced into repeating a lie enough that they don’t stop to think about it. For example, I can predict that if I post this article on social media, the Palestine Supporters will quickly claim I’m weaponizing false claims of antisemitism, by giving examples of bigotry. If that doesn’t work, they’ll say I’m paid, despite there not being ads on this site. And if that doesn’t work, then they can always insist I just hate Palestinians. They simply won’t debate.
With Palestine Support being integrated into education systems, we can be sure that this sort of rhetoric will get more common. Today, there are efforts to integrate this hate movement into American schools, fueled with classes where primary and secondary resources are forgotten for strong opinions and fantasy. Why would the words of Hamas matter, when an MMA commentator is there to say what they really meant?
For those not into MMA, you may remember Dagestan as the Soviet region where people tried to lynch a civilian plane right at the start of the war, when there were far more deaths on Israel’s side, with the Palestine Supporting storming the runway, attacking hotels, and threatening anyone they accused of hiding Jews. Dagestan is also where a lot of Islamist MMA fighters come from, currently dominating the leagues. After the Makhachkala, Dagestan lynchings, former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov called for forgiveness for the youths involved, stating that "Allah is forgiving." He showed sympathy for the people attacking strangers, not the Israelis and Soviets who were attacked. [Source: FirstSportz, https://firstsportz.com/ufc-news-khabib-nurmagomedov-backs-second-chances-for-youths-attacking-israeli-plane-in-dagestan-calling-for-forgiveness/]
Khabib, Makhachev, Khamzat Chimaev and the other Dagestani fighters are proud Muslims. Despite being Russian… ish… their religion makes them less liked in their homeland than Catholic fighters. However, they’re fan favorites of Muslim and Islamist Palestine Supporters. Islam Makhachev defended Palestine in Oct 2023, referring to Jews as “Zionist pigs” the same month as Palestinians initiated a war. Khabib referred to the Islamic Jihad’s attack of a Gaza hospital as “genocide,” refused to correct the statement after evidence was presented of a self-inflicted attack. Later he claimed the US had “depravity and evil beyond words” for supporting Israel. And Khamzat called “Jews,” not Zionists or Israelis, the “guests of Palestine,” in an Instagram post he later deleted. Naturally, after deleting the post about how Jews are guests to Muslims, he claimed he was for peace, I think. “Live in this world good and be.”
5. History Repeats: Bigots Are Cowards
After that depressing recap of the biggest MMA fighters of today, I felt I should tell a short, uplifting story to change the mood.
Many of us remember there was a massive Russian propaganda campaign to insist Ukraine was a strict Nazi country, despite being run by a Jewish leader, despite being more LGBT+ friendly, and despite Russia heavily attacking places of worship and referring to their invasion as a Holy War. A lot of this nonsense went away once Putin fans found a better distraction, the Jewish state, and pushed a war on it. This story starts before Putin’s Gaza distraction.
Fighter Kent “Boneface” McLellan is a poster boy for white supremacists. He has a history of arrests, including one for preparing for a race war. He claimed to have fought with the far-right Azov Battalion in Ukraine. He lied. That's what these people do. He was actually in Florida with his neo-Nazi friends during the time he said he was in Ukraine. [Source: Bellingcat, https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2023/09/13/us-neo-nazi-says-he-fought-in-ukraine-records-place-him-in-florida/]
Derek Diablo is an old school, anti-racist skinhead—Jewban, Communist—with big Star of David tattoos. He got some fame for being a football hooligan and is one of the few anti-racist fighters that make headlines. Diablo challenged Boneface to a fight, and it was hyped up. The fight was billed as the “Anti-racist vs White Supremacist,” a match perfect for MMA fandom.
In the end, they never fought. Boneface backed out. Because of course he did.
Think back to the infamous 1936 Olympics where Jesse Owens, a black American athlete, whooped the Germans, prompting Hitler to run off, since Nazis refused to shake hands with most black and Jewish athletes. In that same Olympics, Marty Glickman and Sam Stoller, two American sprinters, were banned from competing to appease Hitler’s fears of losing to Jews.
History shows that these bigots are cowards. They deeply fear losing to minorities. It’s often argued that the entire war on Israel can be chalked up to jealousy. While Gaza was given more resources than Singapore, it turned into a welfare sharia state. Israel thrived. In fact, during the few decades of hyperinflation in Israel, Palestine Supporter terrorist attacks were at the lowest. Israel switched to the new shekel in 1985, stabilized, and by 1987 there was the first intifada.
6. Israel’s MMA Fans?
There are plenty of amazing, ethical people in the fighting sports. I’m not the right person to list them. I’ll say what I do know:
Conor McGregor, who I have mixed feelings about, is possibly pro-Israel. He made statements that Hamas and Hezbollah are terrorist groups, which is strangely controversial to Palestine Supporters who can’t name what they are advocating for. He tweeted, "To raise the flag of a terrorist organization on Irish soil must become a major crime in the eyes of our state. It will not be tolerated nor lauded! Raise a country flag, off your own person, and off of government buildings, yes, no problem. Raise the flag of radicalized terror organizations off of the same.. Big problem."
I’m not well versed in Irish lingo, but it reads like McGregor is differentiating Hamas + Hezbollah flags from Palestine / Ba’ath Flag. And despite attempts to distance Palestine Support from Hamas and Hezbollah support, Khabib Nurmagomedov responded angrily, insisting that Ireland is inherently a fan of Palestine, and it shouldn’t be questioned. Which raises the question, if Palestine Supporters are not Hamas Supporters, why do so many keep defending Hamas?
I won’t pretend to know where McGregor stands in this conflict. And I certainly won’t give his motive. It's possible IF he is pro-Israel it is because he learned from Jake Gyllenhaal or other Jewish acquaintances. Maybe feels regret that Ireland did not help Allies during WWII, and instead sent flowers to Germany upon Hitler's death. It's equally possible he just doesn't like the immigrants flocking to Ireland, esp those who then riot in the name of Palestine. After all, Ireland is a very white (90%+), xenophobic country, split into two. To make his character harder to defend, McGregor, like Mike Tyson and many other celebs, has sexual assault allegations. So no Israeli is touting him as our biggest fan or hero, though we appreciate he’s not using Israel as his punching bag like so many of his predecessors. The bar is so low, I have to think things like, “At least he doesn’t blame the Jews for gay people existing, like the other MMA fighters.”
Floyd Mayweather, who I also have mixed feelings about, is likewise controversial—often criticized for domestic violence incidents and questionable business dealings. Mayweather is undoubtedly an Israel supporter. He donates to ZAKA, the post-disaster response team that treats the consequences of martyrdom and intifada. And thanks to his Israel advocacy, Mayweather has been repeatedly attacked by Palestine Supporters on the streets.
Why would donating to ZAKA be controversial? Donating to any Jewish or Israeli affiliated org is. As I’ve discussed too many times, peace orgs are frequently boycotted and targeted for what Palestine Supporters refer to as “normalization.” The peace orgs get way more attention from hate groups like BDS than the Zionist Jewelers many boxers and rappers buy from.
Tim Kennedy is a retired MMA fighter and one of Rogan’s few guests who defended Israel. Kennedy correctly echoed what Hamas Supporters regularly say, “If Israel laid down their weapons, Hamas would kill every single Israeli.” Though Kennedy got a lot of nods from Rogan, his deviation from the other self-appointed geopolitical experts means he's unlikely to return.
Natan Levy and Ilay Barzilay are the most notable Jewish/Israeli fighters in the UFC. They are vocally pro-Israel and combat antisemitism. Levy, unlike anyone else in the league, offered to educate Bryce Mitchell regarding his disgusting views. Levy also teaches training courses to make more tough Jews. Barzilay instead hoped to fight Mitchell. The event was cancelled, so Mitchell wound up losing to Jean Silva instead. And that’s all I know about these two.
Ultimately, the point is this: we should not be taking political advice from people who get hit in the head for a living. The same goes for actors, musicians, and others who treat social causes as fashion statements rather than matters of truth or morality. The best way to learn is to really listen to the people on the ground, which is why I implore people to talk directly to people in Israel and the surrounding states, preferably in person. Still, it is telling that the most vocal Palestine Supporters in MMA are also the most bigoted.
Comment what you think.
