so many Christians in the UFC

tonight a few of the guys got together to watch a live pay-per-view event. we watched the UFC (ultimate fighting championship). it was interesting that all of the fighters who won gave thanks to God in their victory speeches. in fact two of them specifically gave credit to Jesus Christ. & two of them were wearing Christian t-shirts.

randy couture is a 43-year-old who came out of retirement to fight for the heavyweight title. he fought a guy who is much younger, taller & heavier. not only did randy pull an upset & win the match, he dominated all five rounds. it really was kind of inspiring. & he was one of the fighters who gave credit to Jesus Christ.

*jin, thanks for hosting tonight

i'm okay with fighting as a sport; but i'm still surprised how few christians don't complain about ufc.

"There are two reasons why I'm proud to be an American, #1 Because of Jesus Christ who died for our sins. #2 The GI who goes out their and dies for our freedom!" =)

as we watched the matches, a thought crossed my mind, "how popular would UFC and other 'violent' sports be if the more men fought in wars?" i mean like hand to hand combat, not computer fighting. NOT that i want that btw.
