UFC on ESPN+ 16 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+ 16 in Vancouver, 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.

Just want to say thanks to everyone The #UFC all friends, family, ongoing supporters, teammates, everyone at maximum training center, everyone at Michigan top team, all the people who have helped me. The people who have been there for me. Thank you all. We as a team and as a person myself didn’t get the result we wanted. I’m sorry to everyone, sorry to my team and to myself. I know I’ll be back. I always come back better,stronger and smarter. I’m going to take this time to reflect everything and get the proper help and everything that i need to get done for me to compete at the highest level. Kudos to my opponent Austin. Also hoping for a speedy recovery for Austin and hope to do the dance again one day.

What an experience! I had to dig deep in this fight, I knew what was on the line going into the third round and I had to go get it. I have to thank my coaches and team at Fortis MMA for that extra push. The grind we put in together day in and day is what won the fight. As those of you who really know me can probably imagine, I am not satisfied with this outcome. However, I learned a lot about myself, got some solid octagon time in and most importantly, came out with the W against an undefeated top prospect in his back yard on the biggest stage in the world. I am enjoying some time with family but I can’t wait to get back to work and back in the octagon… I am hungrier than ever to show what I am truly capable of. I thank god for my health, these opportunities, and all the people I have supporting me. All the comments and messages mean more than y’all know. Another W secured so it’s on to the next one. We are just getting started! #10-0 #UFCVancouver #chapo
