A UFC star who once said he'd "take a bullet" for President Donald Trump now says "he tricked me" — regretting his support for the president, whom he now views as the anti-Christ.

Bryce Mitchell called Trump a "good actor" and walked back his support for him in an Instagram video last week, The Daily Beast reported Monday.

“I don’t support him, I don’t like him, I think he’s a corrupted leader, and it took me a while to come to that conclusion, but I finally am coming to it,” Mitchell said.

“The first thing for me was he didn’t release the Epstein files — they’re even acting like they didn’t exist," he added.

The 31-year-old also described other reasons why he was no longer supporting Trump.

“They’re sending Israel and Ukraine all of our tax dollars, just like the numbnuts before him did,” he added, “putting America last and now he’s blaming the beef farmers for the price of beef.”

He admitted regret and that he was misled.

"I'm not a biased man. He talked a good game. He tricked me. I was fooled. I admit it," Mitchell said.

The fighter, who previously came under fire for praising Hitler, also referenced the Bible and the verse Revelation 13.3, saying he believes Trump fits the description of the anti-Christ.

"He's the only man that fits that description and I'm totally done with the dude. He's done to me. He's a goner. He's compromised," he said.
