[Breitbart.com] Brazilian fighter Mauricio Ruffy did not enter the Octagon at UFC Freedom 250 as the crowd favorite in his bout against "Iron" Michael Chandler, but he left the Octagon as the favorite. After a convincing win over a legendarily tough fighter in Chandler, Ruffy used his post-fight interview to praise Jesus Christ. Specifically, he quoted John 3:16 and called people to give their lives to Christ. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life," Ruffy said. "Jesus saved my life; He wants to save your life, too. Give your life to Jesus."... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here Click Here to read, and watch the video. (Screengrab image: via UFC-Paramount+ /via X-Anna Lulis)
