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 186 event in Montreal, 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.

Thank you all for the kind words and support. I can't ask anymore of myself than to give everything I have & I did. I'll be back :)

Sorry everyone. His movement threw me off, couldn't get his timing down to hit him much. All the support is really amazing. Thanks everyone
