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 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?

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.
