they always end things with the religious shout out. i genuinely am intrigued as to why the majority of fighters are not only religious but want everyone to know they are, is there a mandate somewhere telling them to say that? does the ufc give bonuses for that kind of thing? if theyre not giving bonuses for that, they should be, considering the direction the ufc has been heading and what kinds of fans theyre trying to cultivate and influence

My favourite one was when Dan Ige lost to Diego and did a "through god all things are possible" type speech.

Like bro, if that's the case why didn't you win?

I was paraphrasing. He said "To god be the glory, I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength."

And my comment was just finding it funny that he basically said God gives him his strength but it wasn't enough for him to win.

I really dont have an issue that he said it lmao. I like him and enjoy his fights but I just thought it was funny?

The problem is that you think it means he didn't have enough "strength" to win.

It's very common sense and knowledge that christians believe that God controls their destiny, and that it won't always go in your way, and that the "strength" is that they stay strong to their faith despite shortcomings in moments like that.

i dont give a fuck about captain crunch cereal.

but i guess since i typed out the words captain crunch cereal you will think i am a hypocrite. because any words someone types mean they care about those things.
