UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell took to Instagram with his 3-month-old son, Tucker, to encourage his fans not to vaccinate their kids or send them to public school.

UFC star Bryce Mitchell clutched his 3-month-old son and delivered an off-the-rails rant about the lengths he'll go to protect his child from some of life's biggest threats like...ahem...homosexuality and vaccines.

The 29-year-old Arkansas native is a mixed martial arts fighter in the featherweight competition under the moniker "Thug Nasty". He also appeared in the reality TV show The Ultimate Fighter: Undefeated.


On Wednesday, Mitchell posted a video of himself shirtless while holding his infant son, Tucker James, and shared how his fans could also be good parents, which includes not vaccinating children.

"I think it’s bad for their health,” he argued, adding:

“It could potentially kill them. Give them some type of… make them autistic."
"Seriously, these vaccines are poisonous. Don’t vaccinate your kids.”

You can watch his unsolicited parenting PSA here.

His harmful views on vaccination contradict the findings of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which showed there was no link between developing autism and receiving vaccines.

Mitchell continued, explaining why he will be homeschooling Tucker.

Spoiler alert: It gets bonkers.

“We’re gonna have to homeschool all our kids or they’re going to end up turning gay and that’s the reason I’m gonna homeschool Tucker," said Mitchell.

"I don’t want him to be a communist, I don’t want him to worship Satan, and I don’t want him to be gay.”

He went on to falsely claim that U.S. public schools took away the Bible, the "number one selling book of all time" and the most "accurate historical document there ever was."

Said Mitchell:

"They took it out of the schools and they replaced it with Edgar Allen Poe, who shacked up with his cousin, okay?"
"My son ain't goin' to be readin' no Edgar Allen Poe, okay?"

Instead, he said Tucker will be "reading the Bible."

"That’s just how it is and I’m just telling you, if you don’t teach your kid these things, it’s gonna be fed right to the devil and we’re not gonna let that happen here.”

His wild rant against vaccinations continued in the caption of his Instagram post, which read:

"yall kno ill get censored for this one. but i dont care. i love kids and i love the truth. we have to fite for our kids or evil will corrupt the next generation."
"this country is so evil only God can save us. i was told dhs was gunna come get my kid cause i didnt let the doc stick him with a needle. dont let these threats of violence scare u. be prepared and b happy to die for ur kids."
"thats wat its gunna take to get our freedom back. remember i just got love in my heart so if sumone twists my words and makes me look like the bad guy, u will kno the real enemy."
"thank yall for watchin i appreciate all the likes and comments."

Social media users were agog.

People also called out the video for other reasons.








Outside the ring, Mitchell is a known conspiracy theorist who believes mass shootings are staged by the U.S. government.

He is also a flat earther and believes that gravity is a hoax.

So, yeah, his comments about homeschooling to prevent his son from turning gay and worshipping satan pretty much track.

Hollywood has always struggled with where performance ends and exploitation begins. Intimacy coordinators were supposed to help fix that—that shiny #MeToo-era promise that a trained professional could step in, make sex scenes safer, and keep the male gaze from running the camera like it’s 1998.

Yet Florence Pugh says the reality is far messier.
