Not to shit on Ben, but he was intentionally arrogant and abrasive during his career. He shit on every promotion he was in, while he was still in them. I'm sure he has lots of fans and admirers but he pissed off alot of people that are in a position to help now. It is a little surprising nobody inside the mma sphere is getting off the couch, but here we are.
eh he spoke how he felt, to someone like Dana, Rogan etc the money Ben needed is pocket change to them. MMA fans are awful anyway, he's fantastic in the wrestling community.
What did he say about the UFC?

That one made me cry. Fucking shit man - Ben has mountains to climb man....he's the one with the best mindset to get back to normal - he'll do that as long as the lungs take.

Ben was incredibly fit, that got him here. Very few people would have lasted like he did..

His mentality will get him up and moving. Unless there are issues he will be the longest living double lung recipient. He's a 1 of 1 beast athlete.

But he will never be the same and it will be a though road for long while.
You saw the video, saw what his body burned off.

The amount of weight and muscle lost is unreal
He used to have a muscled out head

Hope these lungs take well and he can ride on

That's a heavy vid. Lots of people are pulling for him and seeing that obviously was tremendously impactfull to him. As MountainMedic mentioned about his fitness going to this health disaster, it's probably the only reason he is here today and hopefully pays dividends in his recovery and journey forward. Its no guarantee, but definitely makes one think about their own overall health and fitness that is in our control. This could be the making of a epic story. Let's go Ben!

Legit 10/10! I really like this version as well and couldn't imagine how powerful it was being in God's Country. Also I thought the amazing singer Taya was a dyke when I first saw this lol but true Christianity doesn't mess with that gay shit...

I love this song. Always gets me emotional and damn that women can sang.
The waterworks start instantly which is why I try to avoid it cuz it's a masterpiece. There's so many of these in worship music that I would put this in the top 10, maybe top 5 but this along with "What A Beautiful Name" have to be the most influential and powerful enough to bring people home...

Bonus version for the young pups under 90...

I'd throw in this as well to make it 3 by Elevation Worship (GOAT) which was featured as well on the Netflix series "Beef"...
