UFC 219 reactions: Winning and losing fighters on social media

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 219 event in Las Vegas, 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.

🇧🇷 Mais um passo dado, mais uma missão cumprida ! Difícil de colocar em palavras a felicidade e gratidão que sinto agora. Queria agradecer a todos que compartilham o meu sonho comigo, todos que eu tenho a honra de caminhar ao meu lado. Não vou citar nomes para não ser injusto com ninguém, quem é de verdade e está junto sabe. Obrigado de coração ! Esse ano afastado foi muito difícil, mas com certeza me transformou em um melhor artista marcial e ser humano. Além disso me mostrou mais uma vez o quanto sou abençoado de ter os melhores do meu lado, ninguém conquista nada sozinho ! Obrigado a todos que trabalham e trabalharam comigo, desde o meu primeiro dia nas artes marciais. Obrigado minha família e amigos, sem vcs não sou ninguém. Feliz ano novo ! 🇺🇸 One more step, one more mission accomplished ! Hard to put into words the happiness and gratitude I feel now. I wanted to thank everyone who shares my dream with me, all of whom I have the honor to walk by my side. I will not mention names so as not to be unfair to anyone, who is for real knows. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ! This year away was very difficult, but it sure turned me into a better martial artist and human being. It also showed me once again how blessed I am to have the best people on my side. Nobody conquers anything alone ! Thank you to everyone who has worked with me since my first day in the martial arts. Thank you my family and friends, without you I am nobody. Happy New Year ! #DeathBeforeDishonor

I am thankful for the strong team of people I have around me. Without them none of this would be possible. First and foremost I want to thank my City Kickboxing team mates and coaches who sacrificed their time and energy into my camp. Also strength coach Makoto Endo and Tony from Tony Martin's Gym for getting me in great shape. My Physio Gabriel Tan (Physio-Logic) and nutritionist Sue Gullery for keeping me in good health. My sponsors who have my back through thick and thin Auckland Isuzu and Engage! Last but definitely not least my family, friends and supporters who I carry with me and represent each and every time I step into battle. #NewZealandRepresent 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿

It is not acceptable for an official representative of @hollyholm @jacksonwink_mma to call me transgender following my Fight. Their official photographer was given a backstage credential to attend the @UFC and I expect an apology or their ability to get credentials for future UFC events to be affected by these actions. @ma2_media 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 Não é aceitável que um representante oficial da @hollyholm @jacksonwink_mma me ligue transgênero na sequência da minha luta. Seu fotógrafo oficial recebeu uma credencial de bastidores para participar do @UFC e espero que uma desculpa ou sua capacidade de obter credenciais para futuros eventos do @ufc_brasil sejam afetadas por essas ações.
