"He's full of sh*t"- Nina Marie-Daniele joins Bryce Mitchell’s fiery attack on Neil deGrasse Tyson, says "we don't come from monkeys"
Controversial UFC featherweight Bryce Mitchell joined the equally divisive MMA personality Nina-Marie Daniele in an interview ahead of UFC 310.
Mitchell, who is set to face Kron Gracie on the main card of Saturday's event, is one of the most out-spoken conservatives on the roster today. Meanwhile, Daniele is known for her out-of-left-field line of questioning and unorthodox topics that often hover on humor. For this reason, it's hard to tell if the MMA personality is joking or not.
One of the topics the two passionately agreed on was their shared disdain for famous astrophysicist and science communicator Neil deGrasse Tyson. Tyson is famous for his podcast StarTalk and TV series Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, where he mostly talks about the wonders of the universe from a scientific perspective.
On Tyson, Daniele said:
"I've never believed a single thing that this man has said. And every person I talk to thinks because he's so well-educated, he has all these degrees, he has a PhD in this and that that bullsh*t, nothing that man says makes sense. I'm sorry, gravity is not real."
Bryce Mitchell added:
"You're absolutely correct. And here's how you know he's full of sh*t. If you can't explain something that you have knowledge of in layman's terms to somebody who don't understand it, then you actually don't understand what you're talking about...He's a government plant and it's so evil that it's actually satanic. These people are trying to convince you that God don't exist and that you come from monkeys. I'm telling you right now, you do not come from monkeys."

Bryce Mitchell and Nina-Marie Daniele go deep on conspiracy theories and try to debunk the theory of evolution
After Bryce Mitchell mentioned that humans "don't come from monkeys", he and Nina-Marie Daniele went off on a long tangent of conspiracy theories, such as the government's involvement in the creation of AIDS and Lyme Disease.
On the concept of evolutionary biology, in which it's been proposed that humans evolved from a common ancestor, Mitchell said (12:36):
"Here's the thing with the common ancestor. So, I ask them, 'Okay, there weren't people around. A monkey had s*x with a non-monkey and made a person, that's what you believe?' You believe something with 24 chromosomes had s*x with something with 24 or 25 and made something with 23? It's never happened in nature. Something with the same amount of chromosomes with the same amount of chromosomes."
Whether you believe in what he says or not, it's undoubtedly entertaining to hear a hardline Christian like Bryce Mitchell try to debunk a scientific theory with "scientific facts."
