There have been many Christians who have participated in boxing. Surely, there are also genuine Christians who are involved in MMA, UFC, kickboxing, and other types of extreme fighting. Biblically

speaking, though, this should not be. In no sense can intentionally pummeling and injuring an opponent in an athletic competition glorify God. The “what would Jesus do?” saying is overused and sometimes misapplied, but in this case it might really be useful.

Can I really picture Jesus participating in extreme fighting? That question must be answered before we decide the question of whether a Christian should participate in or enjoy extreme fighting.


I do watch boxing once in a while but I have never felt comfortable so Because it doesn't feel right for me as a Christian.
