Winning and losing fighters on social networks

From the early days when the sport was anything but a mainstream business, the MMA industry has thrived and survived through various websites, forums, and perhaps most importantly, social media platforms.

The fighters interact with fans, each other and many others via Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, which helps outsiders better understand the minds of the athletes.

Check out some of these reactions.
