Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool sports, may have been happiest to see a particular UFC fighter losing at Miami's Kaya Center on Saturday night.
Bryce Mitchell was choked by Jean Silva in the second round of the match on the UFC 314 main card, and Portnoy was seen as ec in the lower bowl as the 30-year-old featherweight who praised Adolf Hitler and denied the Holocaust that took place on the podcast earlier this year.
Portnoy, a Jew, wore a white kippa and waving an Israeli flag, and Silva celebrated his victory on an octagon cage.

“It's always fun to see Hitler's lover get his A,” Portnoy wrote on X along with his congratulatory video.
Saturday night was also the first night of Passover.
Backlash surrounded Mitchell (30) after what he said in the first episode of his “Arcansanity” podcast in January.

“(Hitler) fought for his country, he wanted to kick and cleanse the greedy Jews who are destroying his country and turning everything into gay (Germany),” Mitchell said. “They had gay children. They were making women weird, they were making men weird.”
Mitchell continued to deny what the Holocaust had happened so far.

“There's no way they can burn and cremate six million bodies. You'll realize that the Holocaust is not the real thing.”
UFC CEO Dana White called Mitchell's comment “probably stupid and ignorant s —” comment.
“Hitler is one of the most disgusting and evil humans who walk on the face of the earth,” White said via the New York Post. “And anyone who even tries to take the opposite side is a fool. It's an internet or social media issue. It provides a platform for many stupid and ignorant people.”
Portnoy, who greeted President Donald Trump on Saturday night, did not contain his excitement when he saw Mitchell tap out. He also seemed to love the plays Silva was celebrating.
