UFC Fight Night 119 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 119 event in Sao Paulo, 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.

You can’t wait for the perfect moment to strike. You got to create the perfect moment. I thought twice instead of just letting my shit go. My opponent did not and he got his hand raised tonight. I am back on my feet and back on my mission. Thanks to family, friends, teammates, coaches and sponsors for your support before and after my fight ?? Congratulations to @tmarretamma ??

Anything you want can be done with hard work and persistence. Even if it seems so far and impossible to reach it can be done. Surround yourself with positive successful people and many great things will begin to happen. I have to thank my coaches @coachstrout @mikejaramillo123 and @kodyhamrah for helping me get to where I am today. Big shout out to @suckerpunchent and my sponsors @eatcleanbro and Lombardi’s Pizza down in Little Italy. Every piece of this puzzle got me the W down here in Brazil last night. The hostile crowd, and the crooked refs and Judges made it even more satisfying for us. Thank you to everyone else for always having my back! ?? #Mma #ufc #ufn #america #brazil #jaredflashgordon #flash #flashgordon #eatcleanbro #suckerpunch #represented #nyc #astoria #queens #ny #churchstreetboxing #renzogracie
