Jesus decided to answer fighter prayers in person tonight at UFC Vegas 29 in the Apex Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
As fighters enter the cage, many either bow their head in a quick prayer or point up, asking the man upstairs for a little extra help in the fight. Well, tonight, they had the opportunity to speak to Jesus Christ directly and ask for his intercession in their fights. Or rather, they all made a double-take as a man dressed as Jesus Christ is ringside tonight at the Apex Center for UFC Vegas 29.
While the fighters were surely surprised to see Jesus, literally, you can always count on the fans watching from home to give the best reactions to the surprise in the audience.
Twitter was more excited to see Jesus than the Disciples at dinner.
While we were all shocked to see the Lord and Savior ringside, MMA Twitter could not contain its excitement to see the biggest celebrity in attendance for tonight’s war.
Wow. Jesus Christ is at the fights and didn't even get the recognition of a lower third chyron? The disrespect! #UFCVegas29

Lots of weird happenings at UFC events. A WNBA star squaring off with a guy dressed like Jesus just got added to the collection.

We wonder if fighters walked up to Jesus and thanked him personally for their victories tonight. Or did they just give him a shout-out on the mic as usual? Either way, we want to know which other diety will be in attendance for UFC 264.
