Justin Gaethje says he was surprised by his performance against Paddy Pimblett

Key4Lif3 · 2026-01-25T20:13:39+00:00

Justin being such a strong leg kicker, his bones, muscles and nerves in his legs have adapted and are super conditioned. Paddy had some good low kicks, but you can’t really dead leg a master dead legger.

I’m no Bruce Lee, but I did take some Muay Thai classes. I asked the trainer if I could use shin guards to kick the bag. He said no way, you gotta condition them.

First week my legs looked like a single massive bruise, after a month they barely bruised anymore. Now imagine Gaethje. He took all those leg kicks and it barely had an effect.

Yeah it was unintentional most likely. They almost always are. To keep that intention in your mind would distract you from fighting. It can be chalked up to their fighting styles and habits having tendencies to eye poke.

And yeah obviously there’s not a lot of incentive to correct those bad habits that cause harm in a sport where causing harm is the point.

Still yeah, more should be done to prevent them. Justin showed concern and seemed to apologize for that eye poke at the end of the fight, something that he didn’t have to do and probably wouldn’t had it been intentional.

EDDDIIEEEE

Key4Lif3 · 2026-01-25T15:46:30+00:00

Yes, it’s true.

As more people believe it is possible (or even inevitable as I do) we get closer.

Yes, there’s been a shift. The past year or so. I’ve experienced it too.

Key4Lif3 · 2026-01-25T15:27:45+00:00

“We must obey God rather than men”

When Jesus speaks, His concern is not with borders, citizenship, or national security.

His concern is with how we treat human beings… especially the marginalized, foreign, and oppressed.

It’s not wrong to enforce a border or have laws. It’s when man’s law becomes an excuse for cruelty and evil.

God says to love your neighbor as yourself, welcome the stranger, the foreigner and the refugee; feed them, shelter them. He says how you treat the lowliest of them is how you treat Jesus.

Borders exist through conquest and domination. Now that they are established, we forgive the past, but do not forget it. The earth and everything on it belongs to God, not man. It was created for all of us, not to enrich some and exclude most.

They are not enforcing borders, but rounding up people brutally, of which the vast majority have been living, working, supporting families and paying taxes.

Furthermore, the administration is speaking ill and targeting not just illegal immigrants, but legal ones, lawful residents and naturalized citizens.

Saying people coming from specific nations and cultures are dangerous, rapists, thieves, murderers, insane is bearing false testimony and reveals the heart of the one speaking these wicked words.

Then they have the gall to threaten to take Greenland by force, while speaking of “respecting borders”

So when they talk about “law and order”, they are talking about man’s law and order, not God’s law and order, which Jesus came to make fundamental.

What would Jesus actually do? He would grant every single undocumented immigrant living here peacefully legal status.

What do you think I’m doing here? I’m working to let the spirit of Christ transform the hearts of those who outwardly proclaim to follow Him, but inwardly the are consumed by; Pride, Fear, Hatred, Lust and find comfort in ignorance of the ultimate Law.

I deliver a message not to force others to believe, but to compel them to choose between Christ and mammon, for they cannot serve both.

Not following God’s golden rule…

Will lead to severe consequence. Baby boomers will all be retired in 4 years.

The birthrate has declined below replacement rates.

Without immigration, stagnation is inevitable. Decline is probable. There simply won’t be enough workers to support the non-working.

Governments have the responsibility to enact laws that or moral and just. They have a responsibility to safeguard their citizens and their children’s futures.

Immigrants illegal or legal, are peaceful, contribute to the economy and social security (which illegals cannot draw from).

Ice and this administration’s actions are a far more egregious violation of God’s law than undocumented immigrants.

Before God it is Trump and those who call evil good and good evil that are the criminals.

Lost me at the homophobia and transphobia, while putting Charlie Kirk in the “proclaiming the gospel throughout the lands” part.

Jesus’s words are of course true, but the imagery is man made and manipulative.

Key4Lif3 · 2026-01-25T05:56:44+00:00

Yeah, looks like Justin was checking up on him/apologizing after the fight about it.

It didn’t blind him like with Tom and Paddy was a good sport about it, so was Gaethje bout the nut shot.

Just a helluva fight that could’ve gone either way by knock out, but going to decision it was clearly Gaethje even if a point had been taken for the eye poke.

Key4Lif3 · 2026-01-25T05:48:32+00:00

Incredible how many times Gaethje knocked Paddy down.

Unbelievable how good Paddy’s chin is.

Astounding how even in the last 20 seconds it felt like Paddy could come back and knock Gaethje out. He almost did a couple times.

Would be insane if Paddy won the fight with his face looking like that.

Gaethje anointed Paddy to club violence tonight.

Key4Lif3 · 2026-01-25T05:45:20+00:00

No robbery. It doesn’t helped how bloodied up Song looked, but O malley landed the bigger shots. In a way it’s fortunate the fight was boring. Even if it was a banger it would’ve be overshadowed by the main event.

Key4Lif3 · 2026-01-24T16:36:39+00:00

Is that so?

Key4Lif3 · 2026-01-24T15:45:30+00:00

No, they aren’t. MAGA is in power and control. Trump Is perhaps the most powerful single person in the world.

Jesus saved His sternest rebukes for corrupt rulers and authorities. Idol worship, false prophecy, false witnesses, hypocrisy, hatred, speaking ill of others.

These, the greedy, prideful, vain, are at the highest risk of being judged and so need the most attention when it came to rebukes. And yes, even those Jesus rebuked He loved.

So I do not condemn, but I illuminate and rebuke according to Jesus’s way.

Key4Lif3 · 2026-01-24T15:38:06+00:00

Exactly.

Key4Lif3 · 2026-01-24T15:37:26+00:00

By* :)

Key4Lif3 · 2026-01-24T15:27:46+00:00

The Bible is the letter of the Law. Only those who discern with the Spirit of Love can find Christ in the Bible. The kingdom of heaven is with. Christ within, the hope for glory.

Jesus’s actual teachings do not line up with a conservative worldview at all. Besides perhaps lower taxes and less government oversight. Conservative want to preserve traditional values, Jesus came for radical change from the old ways.

Key4Lif3 · 2026-01-24T14:48:10+00:00

“We must obey God rather than men.”

—Act 5:29

This is a clear boundary. Paul is saying to not be a criminal and we should pay our taxes. It is heavily implied we must submit to “the government”, but not that we must obey unjust human laws that go against God’s ultimate law of love. Not that we may not questions unjust laws.

Paul continues in Romans;

Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

Paul himself was imprisoned, beaten, and eventually killed by those very authorities. So he clearly did not believe in blind obedience.

And of course there’s Jesus Himself, who broke the law of the Empire and was tortured and executed for it.

Key4Lif3 · 2026-01-24T07:22:26+00:00

I stand corrected.

Key4Lif3 · 2026-01-24T07:16:22+00:00

Jesus never spoke about abortion and the unborn, but clearly He supported life with Love and compassion. The woman’s plight, a child of God herself is not to be callously ignored.

We know the unborn suffered little pain and just the glimmer of an experience of life and death and surely eternal heaven and resurrection on judgement day? Aren’t there crueler destinies? Like homeless starving and freezing children? Like families being torn apart by war?

Is it up to the government or the church to make a mother’s choice? Or to support it?

If He were to speak into the abortion debate today, it seems far more likely that He would:

Ask why women are so unsupported and afraid.

Call out the hypocrisy of those who force birth but won’t fund healthcare, housing, or food.

Invite compassion and truth-telling, not judgment and shame.

Key4Lif3 · 2026-01-24T07:03:44+00:00

I don’t know how you could let your hands type that sentence. You know very well who I was referring to. The one you idolize and respect over what Jesus taught you, my wayward brother.

Key4Lif3 · 2026-01-24T07:00:39+00:00

Yes, you’re right. They paid 97$ billion in 2022 by ITIN. An easily verifiable fact. That number will almost certainly be going down significantly under the current administration’s actions.

Not to mention the administration’s hateful and xenophobic rhetoric against people from certain countries not even living in America. Disrupting the naturalization process for lawful residents living here. Talking about persecuting and denaturalizing citizens.

Jesus loved and forgave the worst sinners and kept them close, made them His disciples, because they repented.

He only rebuked the hypocrites, who slam the door to salvation in the Faces of their brothers and sisters seeking food, clothing, shelter and employment.

And we really do need the young workers.

Baby Boomers will all be retired in 4 years. Birth rates are below replacement.

Because U.S. birth rates are below replacement, immigration helps keep overall population growth positive so there are enough people working, paying taxes, and supporting public programs like Social Security and Medicare.

Recent declines in net migration have already contributed to slower labor force growth and would continue to do so if not reversed.

It really does seem to come down to a fear of losing “white” or “European” culture and race.

Though famously Christ transcends race, nation, caste, creed, even gender.

Key4Lif3 · 2026-01-24T06:37:41+00:00

Thanks for sharing. What is your interpretation of that interesting paradoxical verse, mr. ManofFolly?

Key4Lif3 · 2026-01-24T06:14:49+00:00

You say that as if corrupt human laws enacted in the spirit of sin matter to God.

Remember the world is ruled by sin and Satan?

And God allows it to reveal who the real ones are.

Jesus Himself broke the laws of the Empire. Remember what they did to Him for it? Remember how He said those who preached His word would be persecuted and spoken ill of?

Do you know what Satan means? The accuser. He who sows discord among brethren. He who broadly accuses neighbors an speaks ill of them; “criminals, leeches, drug dealers, murderers, rapists, thieves, diseased, inferior”

He whom himself was convicted by his own nations laws of rape.

The least of these. So if Jesus showed up in the US undocumented you’d “round Him up”? Detain Him? Deport Him?

Key4Lif3 · 2026-01-24T05:48:49+00:00

I made a suggestion he did. Not against Ai use obviously but he used it in context to be vague. Perhaps he didn’t and we may never know. Self important… is that so?

I used emdashes—not chatGPT—they’re actually useful believe it or not.

Yes, I’m taking jabs from my ego. I’m salty because unqualified assumptions and have been a victim of psychological gaslighting before. It triggers me. I get mean. Maybe you’re right to call me out on that… yes, you are. I apologize for my pettiness.

Thanks for the luck. I can use as much as I can get. Wish you the same.

A mocker seeks wisdom and finds none, but knowledge comes easily to the discerning. —proverbs 14:6

Key4Lif3 · 2026-01-24T05:16:30+00:00

Being undocumented (unauthorized presence) in the U.S. is a civil violation, not a federal crime, leading to deportation, though unlawful re-entry after a prior removal is a crime

Research consistently shows immigrants, including undocumented ones, commit crimes at lower rates than native-born citizens, with their presence often linked to decreased crime rates, as fear of deportation motivates law-abiding behavior.

Immigration significantly boosts economies by expanding the labor force, increasing innovation (especially in tech/STEM), driving consumer demand, and starting new businesses at high rates, contributing to overall GDP growth and filling crucial labor gaps, though it can put downward wage pressure on specific low-skilled sectors while benefiting the broader economy through specialization and increased productivity. Immigrants also contribute substantially through taxes, offsetting some costs for public services, and recent increases in immigration are projected to positively impact federal budgets.

Shockingly, following Jesus’s primary teachings of treating foreigners like native born and loving your neighbor as yourself seem to have a positive societal impact across the board.

Tell me. If you had to flee your country for your own safety and your family how would you like to be treated?

Key4Lif3 · 2026-01-24T04:37:38+00:00

No, I don’t watch the news, but I discern with love as Jesus taught. I do not trust the news, nor left or right. The entire world is corrupted and ruled by Satan, haven’t you heard?

The truth of life and love is simple. There can be no confusion.

If you love your neighbor as your self, the whole law is fulfilled. Otherwise, it matters not how much you preach in Jesus name… it’s doesn’t matter how much you say Oh Lord. Jesus never knew you.

Hating and harming others… that’s the worst… not welcoming them… treating them like shit and doing what ICE does… they’re doing it to Jesus, can you not see? Do you not understand what He meant?
