From the early days when sports were only a major endeavour, the mixed martial arts industry has thrived and has been sustained through numerous 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, helping outsiders get a deeper insight into the minds of athletes.
After UFC on Saturday on ESPN 44 in Kansas City, Mo. , many winning and losing fighters, along with their coaches, training partners, or family members, took to social media to respond to the event or share a message with supporters.
Check out some of these reactions.
