UFC on ESPN+ 23 reactions: Winning and losing fighters on social media
Since the early days when the sport was anything but a mainstream endeavor, the MMA industry has thrived and survived through various websites, forums, and – perhaps most importantly – social-media platforms.
Fighters interact with fans, each other and many more through the likes of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, which helps outsiders get a deeper look into the minds of the athletes.
Following Saturday’s UFC on ESPN+ 23 in Busan, several of the winning and losing fighters, along with their coaches, training partners or family members, took to social media to react to the event or share a message with supporters.
Check out some of those reactions.

그래도 mma 너무 재밌네요 더 잘할자신도 있고.. 누가어떻게생각하든 내가하고있는일, 내가 재밌고 내가 잘할자신감 있으면 되는거아닌가 싶은 생각이 드는것같아요 이번에는 아쉬운결과를 얻었지만 다음경기는 더 재밌게 더집중해서 다치지않고 승리까지챙기겠습니다 많이 응원해줘서 진심으로 감사드립니다 For those of you who worries about my wrist injury, i had a wrist fracture during punching, I should had been more cautious. Nontheless, MMA is so much fun. Although i lost the fight but I feel like i can fight better next time. No matter what how other people think about it, I love my job, I love my sports and I know i always learn and get better thats all it is. Although I couldn’t get what i wanted for this fight, I will train harder and prove myself in the fight without injury. Thank you from bottom of my heart for your support.

– It was a victory that I had earned for so deeply, and it is all the more meaningful that I was able to have that win at UFC Busan. At the end of every match, I’m always reminded of people who have prepared so hard with me, and I am thankful. – I was able to have this valuable victory thanks to my MOB family who wanted this win as much as I did and did the preparing and fighting with me, my family that I love with all my heart, fans that came from afar to root for me, and everyone else who always helps me and cheers me on. I will always hold on to this gratitude and my desire for a win yesterday, and I will be a fighter that works even harder, gains experience, and always keeps om getting better. #MOB #TNS #RUBY #UFC #UFCBusan #UFC부산 #썬더버드 #무채색필름 #관세법인엘리트 #에너스킨 #유나이티드병원 #n2ragebarbershop
