UFC on ESPN 9 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 9 in Las Vegas, 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.

. Another thing I wanted to address was the punch at the end of round one. If anyone thinks that was dirty, you don’t know anything about fighting, or this particular fight.. Last fight “spike”’had won by knocking out Aalon Cruz with a combination that included elbows to the back of his head, one of only like 5 things illegal in mma 
. The ref brought this up before the fight and was “well aware of the situation,” meaning other people told him about it… So our fight begins and right away he punches and elbows me in the back of the head like 5 times (the ref warns him)… At this point there are no more gentlemen agreements, and I’m willing to do anything it takes to win this fight from BELL TO BELL.. When he stood up and walks away from me all cocky with 10 seconds left, I’m taking that punch every single time and I bet you would too
