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 UFC 283 event in Rio de Janeiro, 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.

Where were these people when Joanna looked like fucking Megamind in her fight with Weili?? If they’re concerned for safety, why weren’t they screaming for her to be pulled? Competitive or not, shouldn’t her “safety” have come first? Miss me with this double standard BS
