UFC on ESPN+ 22 reactions: Winning and losing fighters on social media

UFC on ESPN+ 22 winners and losers react on social media outlets such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

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 important – 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+ 22 in Sao Paulo, 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.

I put everything I could into this camp. I left no stone unturned. I went down to @charlesdobronxs hometown and fought him in his backyard. I got caught. I never felt better. But thats the fight game. Thank you Charles for the opportunity. You are a true warrior. Ill just pick myself up like I always do and get back to it after a little break. When I was in the hospital they offered me opiates for the pain I was in. The thought of saying yes fluttered through my mind. I looked at my fiancé @christinagambino72 and my friend @bzman83 who was with me and knew what I would lose and where I would go If i gave into that. My purpose is bigger than fighting and helping others is my true goal. Quitting fighting was a thought as well, but that is not an option. I know I have time and way more in me to give to this sport. My biggest fear is being mediocre, and I will not be. Thanks for the support everyone, I love you all!! #flash #sober #grateful #recovery #moretocome #rocky #comebackking

Muita gente me pergunta como consigo entrar no octógono e sair na porrada…mas muita gente não entende que o MMA é um esporte como outro qualquer. Vem da mistura de várias artes marciais, e um dos maiores aprendizados das artes artes marciais é o respeito ao seu oponente, seja no treino ou na competição. Mais importante que o resultado é o respeito sempre. Muito obrigado @antonioarroyoufc pela luta. Oss 👊🏻👊🏻🙏🏻Deus abençoe sua carreira . . #sergipanorules #democparaomundo #sergipanoufc #mma #ufc #ufcbrasil #ufcsp #contenderseries #wolvercrossfit #teambiofarmacos #biofármacos #fisiocorefisioterapia #jiujitsu #TFT #bjj #bjjlifestyle #sports #brazil #mixedmartialarts #muaythai #wrestling #boxe
