UFC Fight Night 115 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 Fight Night 115 event in Rotterdam, Netherlands, 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.

Bom dia a todos. Sei o quanto é difícil chegar em algum lugar na vida, quantos obstáculos temos que superar e o que temos que abrir mão por causa dos nossos sonhos. Digo isso por experiência própria. Não foi fácil chegar até aqui mas para que possamos compreender o caminho do sucesso, devemos encontrar prazer nesses obstáculos que irão surgir nessa caminhada. Os obstáculos sempre irão existir, mas eles também são importantes porque quando chegarmos ao nosso objetivo e olharmos para trás, iremos dar valor aos esforços que nos fizeram ultrapassar cada um deles é o quanto foi importante cada dificuldade. É essa sensação que nos impulsiona para frente e que nos motiva a seguir em frente… Obrigado família, amigos, equipe e minha esposa sem vocês nada disso seria possível….. Infelizmente ontem não foi o meu dia, mas voltarei mais forte do que nunca????????????
