UFC Fighter Shares Gospel Message After Big Win On White House Lawn

This was an awesome moment during the UFC Freedom 250 event being held on the White House’s front lawn.

After defeating Michael Chandler in the first round by TKO in the first round, Mauricio Ruffy took some time to share the gospel during his post fight interview with Joe Rogan.

In his post fight interview, Ruffy shared the Bible verse John 3:16 “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 continued, “Jesus saved my life, he wants to save your life too. Give your life to Jesus.”
