UFC Fight Night 108 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 108 event in Nashville, 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.

The defeated

We will grow. My team is the best. #Repost @stevebruno23 with @repostapp ··· This was in the locker room after the fight. @danger_caged Is a true professional. @parrumpaatt wanted to correct the mistake right then and there, in the locker room, and move forward… We are already planning the next step. This is our team. #UFC #americantopteam

#ufcnashville was no bueno. My head is quite lumpy… Back to the gym after a week or two. Thanks to everyone for all of the support. I thought we had the first round 10-8… I thought round 2 was very close… I thought he had 10-9 in round 3 since I blocked most of the elbows. I have no room to complain about decisions though… should have finished in the first. @stevenraymma is super tough and outworked me. Props to him. Again… thanks to everyone for all of the support. I stay quiet after a loss and get back in the gym… so that's where I will be.
