UFC featherweight contender Bryce Mitchell has a reputation in the MMA community for being a fringe believer. In saying that, the 29-year-old is a flat earth proponent, an anti-establishment commentator, and a conspiracy theory advocate.
While his ideas on Earth's shape as a plane or disk have received significant exposure, it was his take on the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon that provoked attention.
Mitchell joined Patrick Bet-David on the PBD Podcast where he addressed topics like the future of the United States, a possible Civil War, and that Firamament is real. During the discourse, he also shed light on the persistence of the fringe movement that blames the U.S. government for the 2001 terrorist attack. He said:
"I'm telling you I know and I knew when I was sixteen that our government orchestrated 9/11 and brought them towers down. I know! I know white rich politicians brought down them twin towers."

Bryce Mitchell slams tech tycoon Elon Musk
Bryce Mitchell unleashed a fiery rant against the CEO of Tesla Motors Elon Musk in the aforementioned episode of the PDB Podcast.
During his rant, he claimed that Musk's SpaceX program is a deceptive scheme and referenced the Book of Revelation. He also asserted that Neuralink, an implantable brain-computer developed by Musk's company, is the groundwork for the "Mark of the Beast."
He said:
"Somebody that has fooled everybody, but he simply cannot fool me, Elon Musk. I think that he could possibly be, now I could be wrong... But based off of what I think, he could possibly be the 'False Prophet' who presents the 'Mark of the Beast' to the world and presents the 'Anti-Christ' on the world stage. That's how evil I think he is."
