Christian Fighters

couture thanked God after one of his fights but never mentions christianity in any of the books i have read on him. not even in his own bio, becoming the natural.

not sure that he is a christian.

I think couture is. I can't remember if it was after he beat T.S. or after he beat Gonzaga he thanked Jesus for dying on the cross and the US soldiers over seas.

I don't think he is born again. A lot of people tend to thank jesus and give him a shout but have no clue.

Christian is a term that gets thrown around alot anymore. Christian means Christ-Like! You have to look at the fruit in their lives. Are they bearing Christ like fruit??????

Amen so very true. The real list is much smaller if we hold to those standards. In the Old forum we had this discussion and it got very heated and emotional.

He was likely raised Catholic, most Hispanic families are. However, like the word "god", "lord" could really mean anything. I could be a generic god-image, but not refer to the true GOD of Christianity.

Also, Matt Lindland is a Christian, even though I was kind of shocked to learn that.

Randy Couture is supposed to be a Christian, but he's not really showing the fruits of it in his life right now (married to a woman that he cheated on his first wife with).

I would only say that we dont know everything that went on there with Randy. I think overall Randy always acts in a Christian way but i dont really know.

Wrong, actually (never thought I'd be able to say that to Nate!). On Thanksgiving break his first semester in college, Randy knocked up an ex-girlfriend. He then married her. After a while, he got bored with that & cheated on his wife with Tammy, a fellow coahc at OK St. Then that started to get old, so during TUF 1, he met Kim & started cheating with her. Tammy found out & got pissed, so Randy divorced her & married Kim. So here's Randy's record:

1) Pre-marital sex
2) Extra-marital sex
3) Divorce
4) Marries mistress
5) Extra-marital sex
6) Marries mistress
