Beyond cage stage: Beware of being a Nurmagomedov rage phase Calvinist/Apologist

I don’t watch UFC or MMA fights but I want to talk about something to make a spiritual point.

This weekend’s UFC 229 became big news and trending on social media because of the Khabib Nurmagomedov versus Conor McGregor fight.  If you didn’t know Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov defeated Irishman Conor McGregor.  I’m no fan of McGregor; he’s vulgar, crass and plainly has no class.  I’m happy he was defeated.  I’m sympathetic with Nurmagomedov.  But Nurmagomedov then did something shocking.  After his victory he spit at McGregor.  He then threw his mouth piece and jumped out of the octagon to attack someone on McGregor’s camp.  Chaos followed.  Sadly so many times in moments of passion and rage people don’t think about the consequences beyond the heat of the moment.  He might even be stripped of his victory.
