UFC President Dana White may not read the Internet, as he often says, but for a majority of the MMA community, the sport lives and breathes through websites, forums and, perhaps most importantly, social media. 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 58 in Barueri, Sao Paulo, Brazil, 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 Bad and early stop from the Judge….thank you all for the support and people of #barueri #UFCBarueri who was really nice to us all!!!!!! — Igor Pokrajac UFC (@igorpokrajac) December 21, 2014 I'm sorry!
