A question many fans have been asking lately is whether God really has a place in MMA. Message boards light up when this topic is discussed. Some fans even get angry hearing fighters give thanks to God after a win or a loss. They think the fighter believes that God is actually taking sides in the fight. That isn’t how I see it at all.
I feel that God has a place everywhere…including MMA. Christian fighters can be a witness for the Lord. We have been given a huge platform and if we can touch just one person, we need to make the most of it.
Many Christians think of fighting as an ungodly thing. I feel it necessary to give thanks for the blessings I have in my life. Even in a loss I am grateful for things like my health, so oftentimes you will hear me thank God that neither me nor my opponent were injured during the fight.
