Because the early days when the game was anything but a mainstream endeavor the MMA industry has thrived and survived through various web sites, forums, and, perhaps most significantly, social-media platforms.

Fighters interact with fans, one another and lots of more through the likes of X, Facebook and Instagram, which helps outsiders get a deeper look into the minds of the athletes.

Following Saturday’s UFC 305 event in Perth, Australia, several of the winning and losing fighters, together with their coaches, training partners or relations, took to social media to react to the event or share a message with supporters.
