[Stump]

Thanking yourself for not losing faith in God, who deserves all the gratitude because all things are through God...

Jesus. that's some serious mental gymnastics.

Would it make it any less stupid if he did?

it makes it more stupid and hilarious because it's a common theme I'm seeing with a lot of narcissists lol (Kanye did it a lot too and so did McGregor)

 

[Objectively Correct]

Kanye-esque in his self-presentation.

Ilia clearly loves Spain and wants to represent it well. He's Spanish.

He's also Georgian because of his ethnicity (probably still an Orthodox Christian and stuff).

As far as Georgia being European or not.. it's European.

Continentally it's Europe, it's not a geographic debate.

It's not a cultural or political debate either. Even though Armenia and Georgia have at times fallen to Iranian and Turkic empires, they are geographically part of Europe, are Christian, and have connections to Russia.

Now if you have questions about them being fully white or have different ideas about what being white means (in Russia it used to be common for Georgians and Armenians to be called blacks or specific ethnic slurs) that's completely unimportant and uninteresting to me.

Where do you seperate Europe from Asia geographically ?

 

[Objectively Correct]

Your hard-on for calling him not really Spanish is pretty irrelevant when the beginning of this conversation started with calling him European, not Spanish.

And Georgia is largely considered Europe.

And people in Europe are much more identified by where they're from. America is much more about bloodlines.

'Georgia is largely considered Europe' is such a non-sentence. Considered by whom? Just as many people consider it Asian or Eurasian, geographically speaking. It's in the Caucasus.

I follow this but it seems that you're right in the sense that European maps have been changing over the last 200 years with the recent major inclusions actually being the extension to Georgia and Armenia in the 19th century.:

that's funny but it would have cost you zero dollars to shoot vertically

 

[Mammothman]

LOL - I'm enjoying this heel persona he has been cultivating...it is so unlikeable that it is fun.

I truly think he is really himself.

 

[BangBang]

Ilia is a savage. Love watching his fights. The fight with Max gonna be a movie

……unfortunately for Ilia - a Shakespearean tragedy.

Borderline European. Armenia isn't in Europe. He doesn't have a European citizenship yet (Spain).

Not sure what Armenia has to do with any of this...
But Georgia and Spain are both European, soooo....

And, on top of that, he DOES, in fact, have Spanish citizenship.

"El Matador" is officially a citizen of the country he's called home since he was a teenager.

Wouldn't hurt to do at least SOME fact-checking before trying to correct someone publicly.

 

[Hog-train]

This guy is becoming one of the most unlikable champions ever. What a cringelord.

 

[Squarechoke]

This dude isn't doing himself any favors but at least it's slightly better than his "become a primadonna as soon as I win the title" rants, I guess.

He's about as weird as a good part of Pereira's fans.

Georgia isn't in Europe

He lived a lot in Georgia too

Straight from Georgia's wiki page:

"Sometimes considered a transcontinental country, it is located at the intersection of Eastern Europe and West Asia, and is today generally regarded as part of Europe."

 

[Iroh]

is he in anyway equating himself with God?

What do you think?

He cites Turkey to it's west as non European, even though it's  southwest (and European Russia is directly north of it, so we don't need to investigate the west/east measurement), and even though Turkey is also considered a transcontinental country and partially in Europe.
