Bellator 216 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 Bellator 216 event in Uncasville, Conn., 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.

Wanna know a secret ? The commission almost didn’t let me fight because of my eyelash extensions

I EARNED a unanimous decision over the ex undefeated @bellatormma Champion, Vitaly Minakov (30-28, 29-28, 29-28). But listen carefully to the commentator: what a nice choice of words… And what a funny video editing to highlight your number 1 Contender… 
In 2014, I lost by unanimous decision against HW Champion Minakov. Learned my lesson. Kept going. Bounced back #Bellator115
