The return of Jesus Christ

[@robbassett168]

Prince Mateo Sparta - BINGO! The Solar Eclipse was August 21st, 2017. Exactly 33 days later we had the Revelation 12 Sign. This link sums up the Rev 12 sign in 5 minutes. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/kITUgZyIZ6p-aNU • The sun’s total eclipse was over Oregon, the 33rd State. • The Solar Eclipse exited on the 33rd Parallel in South Carolina. • Jesus dies on the cross at age 33. On the 3rd day rose again, thus declaring “It is Finished.” • There are 33 bones (vertebrae) in the human spine. The spine of the King James Bible is Psalm 117. It has exactly 33 words. Furthermore, what are the odds of this & all 3 events within those 33 days? Luke 21:25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;“ Luke 21:25 • August 21, 2017 = The Solar Eclipse (Sun & Moon) • August 25 = Hurricane Harvey (Waves Roaring) epicenter Corpus CHRISTI. Symbolic of the attack on Christ immediately following the Eclipse. • In the stars = September 23 Revelation 12 sign. Again, this link sums up the Rev 12 sign in 5 minutes. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/kITUgZyIZ6p-aNU Distress of nations is pretty obvious. Jeremiah 33:3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’ 333

I think it’s clear that the UFC hasn’t given Nate and Nick the respect and chances they deserved. For the amount of years they’ve dedicated to the organisation and the shows they’ve put on, I think they deserved to have gotten more respect and recognition for that. It’s a shame that fighters that aren’t half as real or tough as them have gotten more opportunities and push.

[@lukelang7781]

It sucks but you gotta promote yourself. As soon as he did that he got that fight with connor

[@GraysonKade]

Dude says he feels he's just better and cooler than kahbib and ussman ahaha! As conor would say, "tell it like it is Nate!" what a savage. Diaz and Masvidal are two of the realist most OG dudes in the UFC.

[@kvee6840]

"I'm one of the top 2 fighters in the game" ... Referring to himself and Nick 🔥 Gotta respect the loyalty he has to his brother. PLOT TWIST : Turns out the other person he was referring to was the one and only 🐐 , Mr. Artem Lobov.

[@smartalick87]

@Anthony Best lmao who the fuck are you? realistic he says. wheres your fights breh.

[@kvee6840]

@Anthony Best Did I say I agree with the statement? I said I respect his loyalty to his brother.

[@kvee6840]

@Anthony Best To answer you and the guy above, no. He didn't say Nick's name in this but he's pretty clearly referring to himself and Nick. He's said similar stuff before, and the other time he actually name dropped Nick. It was something to the effect of "take away the ref and the cages and just let us fight and no one can beat me or my brother" That's not word for word but it was something to that effect.

[@kvee6840]

@Anthony Best Put yourself in his shoes. I think us fans forget these guys are people too. He's been undervalued/underpaid/underpromoted for the majority of his career despite being a big draw and always showing up ready for a dog fight. 20k guarentee per fight is complete bullshit when you're going in there risking serious injury for a living, and thats what he made for a long time. He's just finally putting his foot down because he knows his worth, there's nothing wrong with that. Not to mention dude already has 30+ fights under his belt, who knows how many he has left. You don't want to be offered nobodies to end your legacy as a fighter. He's trying to get fights like Jorge, Mcgregor, Pettis, Cowboy pt2, not undercard fighters. And that's not unrealistic, he's definitely capable of winning against those dudes....Let me ask you this, as an mma fan would YOU rather see Nate vs Jorge/Nate vs Cowboy 2/ Nate vs Mcgregor 3, or Nate vs an undercard? I know what my answer is.

[@Bleakr0se]

@@kvee6840 Completely agree with you. People forget that the Diaz bros helped build the UFC and introduce the antihero/badboy image that people enjoy watching. They never really got the recognition or push they earned and deserved imo. It's crazy to think Nate has been in the fight game for almost 18 years which is how old he was when he turned pro.

How ? He never been a champ he is a good fighter but lost a bunch of fights too ...and when he beat Conor he blew up I'd say he is getting enough recognition and made more money then most fighters.

[@maopaisa1313]

Well said

[@rodgeragain3494]

I agree bro. If he beats pettis he deserves Ferguson or Khabib bro because all those old fights dont matter anymore it’s about now. Just because he lost to other people who wouldnt stand a chance today doesn’t mean he cant beat the top tier fighters.. If he loses the UFC will fuck him even more than they have.

[@kvng.t8655]

daniel saiyan I understand what you mean 100% but, most Nate Diaz fans love him win or lose. Yes he’s never been a Champ and hasn’t won all his fights but let’s look at the bigger picture here. Nate feels he should be treated better by the UFC. He turns down fights because he knows they make him look like a joke and he doesn’t want no scrub to fight. He wants big names like how Connor was getting big names. That’s why he went for the Dustin porier fight and he makes a point too like how come no one talked about Dustin pulling out yet he was still offered a title shot. In my mind Nate is at a high level win or lose but, in this moment he is really tired of the disrespect and is really trying to show his worth as he believes the world has forgot it. I can get behind a man that seeks that💯but I understand your points too tho💪🏿

[@waywardson911]

daniel saiyan I think it was more of the pay gap between Diaz and Connor in both of their fights and the UFC refusing to book a 3rd.
