Bryce Mitchell, the outspoken UFC fighter from Arkansas, has stunned fans by turning on Donald Trump after years of loud support.
Mitchell, 31, once said he would โtake a bulletโ for Trump. Now, he says the president fooled him. In a new Instagram video, Mitchell called Trump a โcorrupted leaderโ and even compared him to the Antichrist.
โI was fooled by him,โ Mitchell said. โHe talked a good game. I donโt support him. I donโt like him.โ
Yes, this is the same Bryce Mitchell who wore American flag shorts and proudly praised Trump on TV. The same fighter who said politicians were lying to the people, except for Trump. Now heโs convinced Trump might actually be the biggest liar of all.
Mitchell said his main reason for flipping is Trumpโs failure to release the Jeffrey Epstein files. โBoth Democrats and Republicans are asking for those files to be released,โ he said, โbut Trump has done nothing about it.โ
He also accused Trump of sending U.S. money overseas. โHeโs sending our tax money to Ukraine and Israel,โ Mitchell said. โThatโs a betrayal.โ
According to Mitchell, Trump even blamed American beef farmers for rising meat prices. โThatโs nonsense,โ he said. โHeโs turning on his own people.โ
For anyone whoโs followed Mitchellโs wild statements over the years, this might not be too shocking. He once claimed Israel carried out the 9/11 attacks. He said Adolf Hitler was a โgood guyโ he would โgo fishing with.โ He also said another UFC fighter, Jean Silva, was โpossessed by demons.โ
(So yes, Bryce Mitchellโs spiritual radar has been active for a while.)
Still, calling Trump the Antichrist is new territory even for him. In the video, Mitchell asked followers to read Revelation 13:3 from the Bible. He said Trump matches the description of โthe beastโ who gains global worship.
โI believe Donald Trump is the beast,โ Mitchell said firmly. โHe fooled me.โ
Ironically, Mitchellโs Instagram still has a pinned post from Trumpโs second inauguration. In it, he called the event โthe experience of a lifetime.โ Fans are now flooding that post with laughing emojis and Bible verses.

Same drama different election season
Leadership should calm, not incite panic
Nobel turned into bargaining chip, not honor
