"You've become an Amerian hero" - MMA X erupts as fighter who flatlined Bryce Mitchell issues response amid 'Thug Nasty's' Adolf H*tler controversy

MMA fans have been reacting to Josh Emmett's latest tweet after the featherweight contender appeared to comment on the controversy surrounding his former opponent, Bryce Mitchell.

'Thug Nasty' made headlines this week for the comments he made during the first episode of his podcast, ArkanSanity. During the show, the 30-year-old made several startling revelations about Adolf H*tler. He said:

"I honestly think that H*tler was a good guy based up my own research, not my public education indoctrination. I do really think before Hitl*r got on meth, he was a guy to 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."

Mitchell has since faced a wave of backlash for his comments, including an immediate response from Dana White, who slammed the featherweight. A number of fighters have also had their say, including Emmett.

The 39-year-old shared a sarcastic post on X, pretending he didn't know what had happened. He tweeted:

"So what did I miss today?"

Fans have since been reacting to Emmett's post, with many now praising him for his first-round knockout victory over Mitchell back at UFC 296. One fan wrote:

"You’ve become an American hero. Congrats"

Another fan said:

"You should’ve followed up with some extra shots on Bryce. Thats what you missed big guy."

Others commented:

"You sent Bryce back to 1930’s Germany 😂"

"Need you to KO Bryce again."

"Your most recent knockout is going viral again for reasons."
