UFC fighter explains his flat-Earth theory and dismisses idea of gravity

UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell has expressed his annoyance with commentator Joe Rogan by demanding a debate with the comedian over whether the Earth is flat.

The No.9 featherweight has never lost as a professional fighter, but has spent his fair share of time inside the octagon; winning five of his six UFC fights by decision on his way to his top 10 ranking. And he sarcastically claimed he must have CTE, a brain injury often found after an athlete has passed away, in an angry message to Rogan on Instagram.

Mitchell is known to be something of a conspiracy theorist, and has previously espoused ideas including that the US Federal Reserve is deliberately toying with the value of the dollar and that the government stages mass shootings to advance a gun confiscation agenda. He shared his latest outburst in a message the concerned fans across social media.
