For those without Instagram

It’s been just over a week and I have spent some time with my family and friends, those closest to me who will be with me win or lose.

I embrace this loss with open arms, because believe me as much as I hate losing, it’s as much part of life as part of our game- and I believe it’s necessary in my pursuit of greatness. “Without the bitter, the sweet wouldn’t be as sweet.”

Make no mistake I’m not a good loser, because a good loser becomes a frequent one. I am however- an avid learner of the arts and of life itself.

This loss has exploded a desire in me that will have the consequence of an onslaught bigger than the original domination- my return to glory and pursuit of greatness will be unimaginable for the average minded.

I have absolutely no excuses for my performance, I was beaten by a better fighter on the night, congratulations to my opponent and thank you for the honour of sharing the octagon with you.

Thank you for all the love and support from fans all over the world, and my sponsors that has always and will in the future play a critical role in my success

AND SINCERELY thank you to all those who enjoyed to see me fall, because I will return the favour, like I always have.

I believe in the plan of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for He knows best and I can’t wait to see what He has planned for me going forward.

I believe in the plan of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for He knows best and I can’t wait to see what He has planned for me going forward.

I believe it starts with a trip to Dagestan...

That has always been such a weird thing to me. Like what are you so selfish that you believe god is making plans specifically for you over the other people? Or do you accept that god may plan for you to be a loser for the rest of your life? Would they believe in that plan as well?

I’ll never forget when Buffalo Bills receiver Stevie Johnson went the other way and just straight up went off on God after he dropped a pass.

Maybe the best headline of all time.

Reminds me of one of my favorite Onion articles

God Answers Prayers Of Paralyzed Little Boy. ‘No,’ Says God

Yes? Loss is not always a bad thing if you improve your mindset later on.

yes, a good Christian should accept himself losing (or for that matter having the most horrendous life ever) as part of god’s plan. That’s what the book of Job was all about.

He was rich guy who was very religious and devout. But then god does kinda like a bet with the devil. The devil argue that job believes in god only because he has had a good life and the moment that changed he would stop being religious. But in the case of job that didn’t happened. Being the learning that your circumstances in your life shouldn’t affect your faith or something like that.

Why wouldn't a god who is "responsible" for creating a Universe with Billions of Galaxies and trillions of starts care about a person's sporting event on Saturday?

u/needapermit 2d ago

Well the idea is that oversees everything

God can’t be making plans for everyone, despite being omnipotent and omnipresent?😂😂

Muslim fighters use their religion as a form of strength in the fight game: Reddit - heck yes!

Christian fighter does the same: Reddit - wow this is so weird to me you guys

u/BenWallace04 1d ago

It’s all stupid

u/Still-Track-317 1d ago

There’s plenty of criticism of Muslims on Reddit and especially on this sub. What are you on about?

u/JazzlikeMechanic3716 1d ago

Muslims get way worse criticism than this man lol.

It's painfully obvious he's mimicking your reasoning.

u/CaptainOddboy 2d ago

If you say so.

u/LadWithDeadlyOpinion 2d ago

I also say so, due to having the ability to read.

u/CaptainOddboy 2d ago

Doubt it, because it has nothing to do with the bias I was specifically referencing and instead resorted to assumptions on what I personally believe.

u/DistortedAudio 2d ago

Yes, let’s all remember how persecuted Christians are.

u/needapermit 2d ago

They are in parts of the world

u/CaptainOddboy 2d ago

Proving my point. Thank you.

u/wimpymist raw in that ass 1d ago

They believe he has a plan for everyone. This isn't that hard to wrap your head around. I'm not even religious and I know what they mean

u/shufflejuuls 23h ago

That’s absolutely how it is. Loss or win, all parts of God’s plan. Steroid and hard drug abuse, as well as cheating on your wife and occasionally assaulting her, believe it or not: also part of God’s plan!

u/StarskyNHutch862 2d ago

That's called being tested as one of gods soldiers dude. Not really hard to understand.
