UFC on ESPN+ 30 reactions: Winning and losing fighters on social media

UFC on ESPN+ 30 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 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+ 30 at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, 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.

Not the way I wanted my fight to go but I got the Win last night. Montel was a very tricky Character and had an amazingly awkward style to adapt to. I did what I needed to do to grind through the fight to get the decision nod. Wether you found the fight boring or not, when you get dropped you adapt and overcome. And I’m very happy with the way I responded after getting caught with a big shot in the 1st. Picking up the next 2 rounds with a grinding style got me the win. Firstly a massive thank you to the teams! @shoremixedmartialarts @adrenalinkgbwallis @bjohnsmma Thank you to @carlbopparker @richard.shore @7johns for the help through the last 2 weeks. Also a thank you to their families for letting them share this amazing journey with me! Also it was a privilege to share this amazing experience with 2 other phenomenal Welsh Mixed Martial Artists @jackshoremma And @johnphillipsufc Thank you to @muscleacademy_taylor For his help with my nutrition and making sure I came into this fight the leanest and best I’ve ever felt! Thank you to the @sportrd_clint @the_angry_dietitian And the team for the help with the nutrition fight week! Last but not least! Thank you to my amazing family and fantastic girlfriend for supporting me from the beginning!

Спасибо всем, кто верил в меня, и всем, кто во мне сомневался. С каждым боем я чувствую, что становлюсь лучше и сильнее и готов идти дальше. Конечно, я хочу стать чемпионом и получить пояс Ин Ша Аллагь☝🏻. Посмотрим какие планы у UFC на меня в будущем. ⠀ Хочу поблагодарить своих родных, свою команду @fe__team, в лице презедента клуба @umakhanov_us, своих тренеров: @abdula_abdulaevmma @muskhab_coach @k_rasul_999 @magomedrasulov_jr, менеджеров: @aliabdelaziz000 @rizvan_magomedov, а также людей которые всегда поддерживают меня Умаханова Сайгидпашу Дарбишевича (@saygidpasha_leader) и Муртазалиева Омара Магомедовича.

Поздравляю нового чемпиона @daico_deusdaguerra, с отличным выступлением. Я рад что в нашем дивизионе есть такие парни которые показывают настоящее зрелище, которое любит публика, огромное уважение ветерану @joejitsu, это беспощадная игра и тут выживают сильнейшие. Фигередо заявил, что хочет оставаться активными, я тоже хочу заявить что уже готов забрать у него титул пока он сильно не привык к нему )) ЮФС, @Danawhite, если хотите увидеть кровь🩸Фигередо, то пришлите мне контракт. – My congratulations to the new champion Daico, with his perfect performance. I’m glad to see such guys in our division that know how to entertain the audience with a real show. Great respect to the veteran Joseph, it was a merciless game and in this situation the strongest ones survive. Daico, announced that he wanted to stay active, I also want to claim that are ready to take his title before he is used to it. UFC, Dana, if you want to see blood Daico, send me his contract.

Não é de agora, são 20 lutas guiadas por você no corner e sou muito grata por Deus colocar você em minha vida para me ajudar a encontrar o meu propósito… Você me inspira todo os dias! Obrigada por tudo, tudo mesmo! Te amo @renatorasta ❤️ Que seja o começo de uma nova fase.. • • • #Repost @renatorasta • • • Aquela parte que a globo não mostra… Foram 8 meses de trabalho extremamente desgastantes, tentando fazer o aluno entender cada detalhe do jogo, como utilizar o seu melhor em cima das falhas do adversário, como corrigir as brechas do seu jogo, como superar os seus traumas, como se alimentar de forma correta, como trabalhar sua auto confiança, corrigindo cada movimento, pensamento para induzir seu oponente a cometer erros e aproveitar cada distração, brigas, discussões e claro também muita diversão. A luta vai muito além do octógono, começa na vida e como você enfrenta as suas adversidades, isso não se ensina de uma hora para outra e não são todos que estão dispostos a pagar o preço para vencer de verdade, são anos e anos para conhecer um atleta a fundo e fazer se extrair o melhor que há ali dentro. Quem assistiu esse 1:30s de luta vê um “talento” que é nítido, mas um verdadeiro treinador enxerga isso em alguém que todos consideram só mais um, #SQN Não adianta esse papo furado de “persista que você chega lá”, se você não tem pessoas capacitadas ao seu lado nunca atingirá grandes objetivos, somente insistir nunca será o suficiente, então se quer atingir grandes feitos procure pessoas que se esforçam pelo próprios sonhos assim como você se esforça pelos seus. Aqui nós trabalhamos muito todos os dias e se você não está disposto a sacrificar sua zona de conforto acreditando somente em talento, a nossa casa não é o lugar certo para você. Aqui é o lugar que a sorte não entra e os fracos não resistem 💀🔥🏆 @rasthaioficial #FormandoCampeões #MMASCIENCE #RasthaiStyle

What a incredible journey the last 10 days has been. The story of my life is a exciting one. But this chapter of the story stretches way further back then 10 days. I have been in fightcamp since mars. There has been ups and downs. But the result is the desired one. Victory. I dedicate this victory to my coaches, teammates, family, friends and fans. From the bottom of my heart I thank you for all the time and effort you gave me to get better. For having my back and supporting my dream. Thank you! I also wanna thank my opponent @kgastelum for sharing the cage with me. You are a true warrior, and a great person. I wish you the best.
