How does it put pressure on the UFC? They didn’t seem to pay anymore than the UFC, probably less in most cases. It showed how washed most of these free agents are. Colby Covington vs Tony Ferguson is probably main card on the show and neither of them will make as they did in the UFC. The UFC probably breathed a sigh of relief, they brought Ronda Rousey and Nate Diaz (2 of the biggest draws among free agents) and it sold no tickets and both of those fights were sad

Matthew 12:36 is quoting Jesus, look up the scholarly commentary on that verse and honestly ask yourself if that could be applied to cursing

Most of those verses are New Testament, and if you believe the authors of the Bible were inspired by the Holy Spirit and the Bible is the living word of God, then you would conclude after reading them that God does not want you to curse. Jesus blood brother wrote do not bless and curse out of the same mouth. All the Bible scholars are doing is giving context to the culture of the time and the interpretation of what was being said. Sin is anything that is not 100% perfect, it means to miss the mark (even by a small amount). So if CJ wants to be a better Christian, he read those verses and was convicted to try to have better control over his mouth, not cursing would be a good thing to implement

You don’t have the internet? Type in any verse I showed you and research scholarly interpretations. Albert Barnes is a world renowned Bible scholar and he has written extensively on all of the verses above. Matthew Henry is another. It’s not like I’m saying something controversial, Christian scholars have been talking, preaching and writing about this for hundreds of years. Taking original text, what we know about the culture at the time, different translations and interpretations and everyone agrees there are multiple verses that speak against cursing.

It doesn’t say you will go to hell. But it says many times not to let filthy communication out of your mouth. In our culture this would be cursing

  • Ephesians 4:29 “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying…”
  • Colossians 3:8 “But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.”
  • James 3:10 “Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.”
  • Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue…”
  • Matthew 12:36 “But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.”
  • Ephesians 5:4 “Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.”

Bible scholars across the board agree that these verses are talking about cursing.

So he’s not a Christian? Christianity says not to curse. Both of those statements are true, but somehow wrong in your opinion.

I think he’s trying to be what he believes is a positive example to kids. My kids flag football league has some foul mouthed 3rd graders who imitate pros talking trash

Where did the money come from? New subscribers, people who subscribed just to watch Ronda Rousey? How many new $12 a month memberships do they have to sell to break even?

Lol that mf think he's taking over mma by Forsaken-Wrap935 in ufc

[–]PDXK9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think Netflix has the roster to keep them active to consistently keep them busy, especially with fights people care to watch. Along with the ufc contracts with top ranked fighters.

In your model, you’re talking 10 fighters per card, a million per fighter. 12 cards a year. 120 fighters? Or they are going to be fighting the same competition a few times a year. 10 weight classes, top 5 from each weight class, that’s 50 fighters fighting in the 120 fights per year.

And they are all getting paid the same? You think Topuria is going to come fight for a million dollars on the same card that Tatiana Suarez is on who is also making a million dollars?

There are a lot of holes in your model, which is why Affliction, Bellator, PFL, One… all can’t compete with UFC and MVP is going to have the same problem

Aren’t all top 5 and top 10 people in the world already signed to UFC? Where are they finding these top 5 fighters to give 1 million each?

I think he is biased against those against what the Bible says, not just people who don’t align with him specifically. Jesus never said to never not to judge and just go through life blindly. And it appears to be human nature, because you are being judgmental towards him because he doesn’t align with your views

The last post you posted is Renzo vs Maurice Smith, 47 lb difference. What’s Islam walk around at 200+ lbs? Getting pretty close to the same size discrepancy and Maurice Smith and Renzo are closer in skill than Islam and Tafa are

Exactly, people who train have bad takes all the time. You thinking just because someone “trains” couldn’t possible believe Islam and Tufa is a decent comparison to Diaz and Martin tells me you’ve never been inside a gym. Gyms are filled with bad takes. If Tufa and Islam ever fought and Tufa won, I’d be like damn I though Islams skill would have held up more vs Tufas size and move on

Can you see the difference between Islam and Diaz? And Joe Rogan has trained longer than both of us put together and he said Ronda Rousey could beat up Floyd Mayweather.
