UFC 192 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 192 pay-per-view event in Houston, 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.

The defeated

I hate to say that, but I got knocked out in the third round. Big thanks for your support. We're fighters – sometimes we win sometimes we loose, but we always do our best. I'm ok, my ego was hurt way more than my body. I will be back. Love you all guys.

Didn't get the win tonight. Sergio was a super tough fighter and a ton of respect to him and his camp. Just want to thank my family, my coaches, the Ufc, and everybody who supports me. I couldn't do it with you guys. I love you all. #enjoythejourney #nevergiveup #ufc192 @risecombatsports #fightandfitness

I work my butt off no matter any outcome in cage and life. As a athlete my success and defeats are done with 100% effort for your entertainment and my enjoyment. I'll always consider myself a winner because I know me and my story plus this shit is hard . I have a lot to be happy and proud of even if I don't get my hand raised at end of the night . Thanks
