A controversial UFC star who previously accused Israel of carrying out the 9/11 attacks and claimed the Holocaust never happened is now rebuking President Donald Trump for 'tricking' him.
Bryce Mitchell, who previously said that he would 'take a bullet' for the President, is walking back his support of Trump.
The 31-year-old Arkansas native has promoted multiple conspiracy theories in the past and now believes that the 47th President is closer to the 'anti-Christ' than he thought.
In an Instagram video, Mitchell - who once described Adolf Hitler as a 'good guy' and 'a guy I'd go fishin' with' - told his followers that he is 'not with Donald Trump no more'.
'I don't support him, I don't like him, I think he's a corrupted leader, and it took me a while to come to that conclusion, but I finally am coming to it,' Mitchell continued.
It's a complete about-face from comments he made after a fight in December 2024, when Mitchell said that the 79-year-old leader doesn't 'make many mistakes and when he does he'll figure it out and he'll fix it and I trust him.'

But now, Mitchell is admitting, 'I'm not a biased man. He talked a good game. He tricked me. I was fooled. I admit it.'
Mitchell's biggest issues with the second Trump Administration are in lock step with some of his more extreme views.
'The first thing for me was he didn't release the Epstein files - they're even acting like they didn't exist,' he said in the video.
The lack of substance on the Epstein issue is one of the few issues that supersede the growing partisanship in the United States - with both Democrats and Republicans demanding the release of the documents about 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'.
Surprisingly, the top pinned post on Mitchell's Instagram is a gallery of images from Trump's Second Inauguration Ceremony from back in January of this year
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'.
