UFC 215 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 215 event in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, 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.

Eu confio muito no meu trabalho e em mim, nunca me darei por vencido, vou voltar com muito sangue nos olhos, Deus está me testando e eu confio em seus planos ??? Já fui vaiado Já fui humilhado Já fui atacado Fui xingado, ameaçado Nunca amedrontado Aplaudido, reverenciado Homenageado Premiado pelos homens Por deus abençoado

Last night didn't yield the outcome that I wanted. I gave the best of myself and came up short. I know the strength inside of me and I will get back to work immediately to grow and learn from this setback. Thank you to all of my family, friends, and fans who support my goals and dreams. I believe in myself and that is unwavering ??
