Bryce Mitchell is not giving up on his call-out of Joe Rogan as he wants to debate with the UFC commentator on his podcast.
Mitchell, who fights Ilia Topuria at UFC 282 this Saturday in Las Vegas, is known for his controversial views on topics such as gun control and politics. The top-ranked featherweight contender has requested to go on Rogan's podcast to debate him on the flat earth theory, which Michell thinks is true but Rogan disapproves of.
"He can believe what he wants to and I don't believe that he's stupid, but I can tell you that he cannot prove any of his beliefs. He cannot prove that the sun is 93 million miles away, that earth is circling it at 66,000 miles per hour or spinning another 1,500 miles an hour on the axis," Mitchell told Mirror Fighting .
"He can't prove none of that stuff and this is what it's all about, I believe in stuff that I can prove. It needs a little time, but throughout the course of a debate you would see whose beliefs are more sound and that would be mine because I can prove everything that I believe in."
Mitchell, who is undefeated in his fighting career, earned himself a UFC contract four years ago by winning season 27 of The Ultimate Fighter. The American made headlines in the same year after 'tearing his scrotum in half', as he tried to catch a power tool in between his legs after losing control of it whilst doing some DIY. Rogan is known for having conspiracy theories of his own, but has mocked people for believing the earth is not round.

Since then, scientists have told us that our whole universe is moving at some exponential rate and it's not going to slow down. Guess what, the three pyramids still align with Orion's Belt after 2,000 years. The Polaris, North Star, never moves in the sky," Mitchell added.
"All the other stars are set on a fixed rotation, they come back to the exact same spot ever single time. Do you want to believe Joe Rogan and Neil Degrasse Tyson, who say the universe is spinning around, or you want to believe me who can prove the stars aren't spinning and the size of the sun isn't as big as they're saying?"
