UFC on ESPN+ 31 winners and losers react on social media outlets such as Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
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 on ESPN+ 31 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.
Check out some of those reactions.

⠀ ⠀ Aprovecha la oportunidad con 1 día de antelación. No es el resultado que quería pero volveré. Pensé que hice lo suficiente para ganar, pero eso no cambiará nada. Tengo que avanzar y centrarme en lo que puedo controlar, y eso es finalizar peleas. Gracias a los que odian y a todos mis fieles seguidores por los mensajes positivos. También mucho amor para mi equipo directivo @iridiumsportsagency y el @ufc por todo el trato especial. No todas las batallas en la vida se ganan, pero está bien porque la guerra nunca termina. #elhijodelotrolado #elmeximericano #champlife 
3. Fighting in a silent and empty arena is almost(almost) as fun as fighting in one packed to the gills with fans. 4. Literally having conversations with your opponent during the fight is like stacking mental warfare on top of the physical and I’m about to be doing that a whole lot more often 
6. While I showed some good improvement in aspects of this match I also showed myself and my coaches more prominent holes that need addressing. 7. I think I’ll step away from the cage until early next year, I need to reset my focus and further cement certain technical aspects into my skill set that I’m executing in the gym and not yet transferring into the heat of the fight. 8. I choose to be the tortoise and not the hare in this game, and at the young age of 28 the finish line is still a long ways off 
Thanks for the war @bobbykinggreen 
Thanks to my coaches @nickursomma @harrystleger @eric_montoya505 @doc.chandon and teammates @jacksonsmma_acoma as well as my family and friends 
Thanks for the opportunities you’ve given us during this pandemic @danawhite @seanshelby and all of the amazing staff over at the @ufc 
P.S. My girlfriend brought a new dog into our family while I was gone on fight week, his names Trunks(black/white) and he’s basically cooler than the other side of my pillow.
