Hello everyone, I don't mean to be a burden and I know this is random, but this is the most important thing you'll ever hear in your life. Jesus is coming back soon! God sent His only Begotten Son into the world, that whosoever shall believe on Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Those who do not believe will be condemned. (John 3:16-18). Jesus died for our sins, and to set us free from our sins and condemnation (John 8:36, Acts 13:39). Jesus rose from the the grave 3 days later after His death, defeating death. He now lives forevermore, and seeing we have saving faith in Him, we too will live eternally with Him! Jesus is the only way to Heaven (John 14:6). Following Him is the best decision to make in life. Though the Christian life isn't a life absent of difficulty, despite any circumstance Jesus gives true peace and fulfillment, a peace and fulfillment this world cannot give (John 14, John 16).

No, he landed a good kick and he put me out.” Love them or hate them, they reigned as kings of their division for a reason. Aside for their sheer hard work, they ARE classy human beings in a defeat.

Classic racist response. Izzy is black yes, but he lost to a guy with a lighter skin complexion . It's okay that this happened. Black people losing isn't the end of the world. You need to take what youve learnt, adapt to your environment and take advantage of your new surroundings. The more complain and sook the worse off you'll be. Izzy had lost to this guy 3 times so just remember that. May be more skilled but his chin isn't. You take away his height advantage and his chin becomes a factor. He got cocky in the fight and got tagged. This is the adesanya ego.

You don't kick a rock solid guy like Alex, that guys bones are made of steel. Israel got unlucky, he rocked him and could have finished him if he had another 20 seconds. But Alex could also have finished Izzy way earlier if he had gone full war mode I think. But the sad part is, Alex will lose the belt fast to the wrestlers coming out of the woods like sharks smelling blood and easy prey
