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 Spike-televised Bellator 142 event in San Jose, 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. * * * * The defeated @gokhantherebel You havent fought in a year dude..lol You need some hype i see Guess what's the best way to get it? send a twit 2 Zack M lol — Zack Mwekassa (@ZackMwekassa) September 20, 2015 Tonight i've realized how much i have grown @GLORY_WS @BellatorMMA great fight with Cavalari i like the guy. pic.twitter.com/jWpW3AYWmj — Zack Mwekassa (@ZackMwekassa) September 20, 2015 Want to thank all my fans!
