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 breaths 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 53 in Stockholm, several of the winning and losing fighters, along with their coaches, training partners and 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 Nie mam wymowek byłem przygotowany naj jak mogłem… Na działem się i tyle… Dzięki za wsparcie obiecuje ze wrócę lepszy — Marcin Bandel (@BombaBJJ) October 4, 2014 ( Google Translate : I have no excuses, I was the most prepared as I could … At the department, and so much … Thanks for the support I promise a better return) Honor to fight alongside one of the toughest guys in the @UFC @Rick_Story way to battle for the win #UFCSweden #USA pic.twitter.com/14A0PgyG9n — Charles Rosa (@CharlesRosaMMA) October 5, 2014 Sorry guys!!!
