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.
Wrestlers interact with fans, each other and more through sites like X, Facebook and Instagram, which helps outsiders get a deeper look into the athletes’ minds.
After Saturday UFC on ESPN 61 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 fans.
Check out some of these reactions.
