UFC 174 reactions: Saturday's winners and losers on social media

UFC President Dana White may not read the Internet, as he often says, but for a majority of the MMA community, the sport lives and breaths through websites, forums and, perhaps most importantly, social media.

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 174 pay-per-view event at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena, 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 told @BrendanSchaub that if he won the 3rd, he would win the fight. Even though I was wrong, he listened & finished w/ a lion’s heart.
