UFC 236 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 236 in Atlanta, 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.

So last night…. that was insane. I’ve never had so much fun in my life. I promised nothing but fireworks for this fight and that is exactly what was delivered. That first round was insane. Brandon and I were legit gun slinging. He caught me with a slick knee to the body in the 2nd round that took everything out of me and forced me into a desperation shot. Unfortunately did not come out on top, but I am not upset in the slightest bit. I proved that I belong in the UFC and can hang with the best guys in the world. Spirits are high, I’m 100% healthy, and my motivation is at an all time high. I’m going to take this week off to go on vacation and I’ll be back in the gym next week. Hats off to Brandon for being such a respectful and savage opponent.I will be fighting again ASAP… Thank you all so much for the support. On to the next🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 #UFC236 #UFCatlanta @ufc @ufcfightpass @usatodaysports

It’s a tough career choice especially competing with the best in the world…But I’m healthy and I will live to fight another day. Thank you to my whole team for such a great camp. Thank you to my teams in Florida and New England. Thank you to my wife, kids, family for their sacrifice. Thank you to everyone that came out to cheer me on, I ❤ you guys. Thank you for supporting me in all ways… Not just seeing me as an athlete or a fighter, but as a person. Thank you God for allowing me to do what I love. There will always be obstacles and roadblocks that set you back. Trust me I’ve been through a lot. You might get knocked down with some big blows. But if you are able to get up and fight through the struggles and face your fears, doubts, and really fight for your dreams and beliefs….That is what makes you a true warrior in life.

Чем лучше фильм, тем длиннее титры. Поехали. Спасибо @ufc за этот шанс. Я понимаю, что и турнир, и соперник могли бы быть другими. Постараюсь и дальше не напрягать судей лишней работой. @sidorin_team @khilchenko_victor @max_khilyuk_evogym часто я думал, что у вас тоже нет других дел, кроме этого боя, я ценю. Пару недель отдохнем друг от друга ) @indstrls @k_timofeev иногда мне кажется, что нет такой ситуации, которую нельзя было бы решить, набрав твой номер. Если ты менеджер Никиты Крылова, значит ты кризис-менеджер ) @themoneyteamrussia @nord_desant вы не любите слишком много слов – спасибо за все. @ultimatefit.ru и @_evolvegym_ иногда я уже правда чувствовал себя как дома. Простите за маты на матах ) @strelapromotion у вас можно одновременно получить и по голове, и порцию уверенности в себе. Всех перечислять надо отдельно, я лучше поблагодарю вас, когда вы будете готовиться к своим боям. @taras_kiyashko я на связи. @itrener – надеюсь, что вы после работы с нами не измеряете у себя степень утомления ) Если измеряете, не говорите результат. @hasanyousefii @den_den_den__ @nikita_varyag @noobveteran @tokatiteam – вы единственные люди, которым можно быть благодарным за то, что напрягали почти каждый день. @yalanskiy – спасибо за понимание. @placidooficiall Obrigado meu amigo У меня были лучшие места в партере @vplabru – спасибо, все было очень вкусно ) Промокод KRYLOV – напоминаю. @003_osp Only respect. You were a very good teacher. @kobraztsova если ты это прочитала, тебе, наверное, пришлось еще раз вспомнить, какими были последние несколько месяцев моей жизни. Я знаю, что они не были простыми, но только так я могу делать то, что умею делать. Спасибо, что ты это понимаешь. Я рад, что в моей семье нельзя быть слабым. #nikitakrylov #industrialsteam #family #themoneyteamrussia #северныйдесант #vplab #ufc #mma #ufc236

Video: LFA’s Kendra McIntyre ragdoll KOs opponent with absolutely vicious head kick

Max Holloway may have MMA Junkie’s Knockout of the Month, Knockout of the Year, and beyond locked up with his buzzer-beating finish of Justin Gaethje at UFC 300, but that hasn’t stopped other fighters from submitting their entry into the conversation. At LFA 182, Kendra McIntyre did exactly that...

Anthony Smith on Alex Pereira: ‘Given the opportunity, we both would jump on it’

Anthony Smith knows he’s not currently in the title picture, but hopes he gets an opportunity to face Alex Pereira some day. The pair traded barbs in the past, but Smith insists it’s nothing personal. UFC light heavyweight champion Pereira (10-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) currently awaits his next challenger...
