UFC Fight Night 46 reactions: Winning and losing fighters 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 others through the likes of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, which help outsiders get a deeper look into the minds of the athletes.

Following Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 46 event at The O2 in Dublin, several of the winning and losing fighters, along with their coaches, training partners and family members, took to social media to react to the event or share a message with supporters.

Check out some of those reactions.
