UFC 195 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 195 event in Las Vegas, 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.

I couldn't be more proud of my brother @carlos_condit. He left it all in the cage tonight. He showed amazing technique and heart. This is a fight that will go down in history as one of the best ever. Honored to corner alongside Coach @mmacoachwink, @jacksonsmma, @jacksonwink_mma, @rickylundell & @thedolcediet. Carlos is always a champion to me. photo by @allelbows. Much respect to Robbie Lawler.

I thank GOD for those trials he gave me! Thank you for supporting me again, and I am sorry I got you worried a little. We will keep on going to our target!"
