Fighters Only ‏@FightersOnly

Here’s the scorecard from Barnatt vs Strickland… Mr Andy Haigh what the hell were you watching!?! #UFCBerlin

Dana White ‏@danawhite

•one of the worst decisions ever. How about 30 – 27?!?

•Yes Luke Barnatt won that fight. How about the judge with the 30-27!? That’s insane

Joey Oddessa ‏@MMAOdds

no one deserved to win that fight..ugly

Brandon Frm NJ ‏@BrandonfrmNJ

COME AT ME BRO

 Dann Stupp ‏@MMAjunkieDann

We get it. You guys have impressive wingspans. Now hit each other.

Tommy Toe Hold ‏@TommyToeHold

Does raising your hands in the air to say, “I don’t give a f—” constitute octagon control?

Fighters Only ‏@FightersOnly

Backstrom on suspected broken toe: “I don’t care. The doctor taped it up but I don’t care about that. I’ve got money now!” #UFCBerlin

Ian McCall ‏@Unclecreepymma

Walked into my dad watching fight pass and damn … @mousasi_mma is a beast.

Dana White ‏@danawhite

WOW!!!! Total domination by Mousasi. I never understood how the media had him ranked 11 after going distance with #1 Machida

Jeff Wagenheim SI ‏@jeffwagenheim

If only Gegard Mousasi could learn to calm down a bit …

MMA Roasted ‏@MMARoasted

There is a new sex move called “The Mousasi”–when you blast a chick but look bored the entire time. #UFCBerlin

 Mike Bohn ‏@MikeBohnMMA

Mark Munoz has landed four total strikes in his past two UFC fights. Live stats on UFC website aren’t official, but either way, that’s ugly.

Shaun Al-Shatti ‏@shaunalshatti

Mousasi repeats what he said earlier this week, he expects to get either Luke Rockhold or Tim Kennedy next. I dig it.

 Gegard Mousasi ‏@mousasi_mma

@danawhite @ufc Sir I would Love to fight in JAPAN!! Put me there on that card and i would not discipoint U and my FANS…

Mark Muñoz ‏@mark_munoz

It doesn’t matter how many times u fall, but how many times u get back up again! Thk u to those who support me!

 Evan Shoman ‏@shomanart

5 hours of UFC down, 5 hours to go. It’s like being at King of the Cage without the shitty drive home, all over again.

Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani

If you’re looking for something to do between the next UFC card, I suggest watching Froch vs Groves … or get fresh air. Your call.

Froch vs Groves II

Last November IBF and WBA super middleweight champion Carl Froch beat George Groves by TKO in the 9th, in what many fans called a quick stoppage. This time Froch left no doubt, with a knee twisting KO reminiscent of Gonzaga vs. Cro Cop.

ZombieProphet ‏@ZProphet_MMA

 Gareth A Davies ‏@GarethADaviesDT

Bottom line it matters not. @Carl_Froch made the fight decisive. Brilliant finish from the man with the iron will and chin #FrochGroves2

Also getting attention was the mother of Froch’s two children, glamor model UK glamour model Rachael Cordingley. Froch proposed to her in the ring, moments after beating Groves.

Ryan Loco ‏@RyanLoco

The belt is just a bonus

TUF: Brazil 3 in Rio de Janeiro.

 John Morgan ‏@MMAjunkieJohn

•Brazilian arenas often very hot, but it’s winter right now, so it’s 70 degrees outside. •Beautiful day, and arena feels very comfortable.

The canvas here has logos and everything. 🙂

 Joey Oddessa ‏@MMAOdds

unbearable with sound up @UFC …there will only be ONE & his name is @JoeRogan – Rogan cannot be replaced by anyone in my book ytd -period

Ben Fowlkes ‏@benfowlkesMMA

Is it time for me to admit that Paulo Thiago is probably never going to be as awesome as I want him to be? Maybe, yeah.

 Pat Miletich ‏@patmiletich

Any time you’re fighting a guy from a country that ends in “stan” you can bet your ass you’ll be part of a “war flashback” fight.

Bloody Elbow ‏@BloodyElbow

If there were a Morons Who Think of Stupid Nicknames Contest, I’d so win for Rodrigo “You Fine Girl” Damm.

Suzanne Davis ‏@SoozieCuzie

Rodrigo “Frankly, My Dear, I Don’t Give A” Damm.

Chris Nelson ‏@3amMMA

there’s a referee in Brazil who mimes pumping a shotgun when he’s introduced. step your damn game up, Yamasaki

Ben Fowlkes ‏@benfowlkesMMA

Mazzagatti: “How many fingers do you see?” Peralta: “…” Mazzagatti: ” Come on, fast.” Peralta: “Two?” Ah, so he’s fine then. Continue.

@z0mbieantman

That’s Yamasaki..

Ben Fowlkes ‏@benfowlkesMMA

Damm it! Again, long day. RT

Guilherme Cruz ‏@guicruzzz

Rashid Magomedov: “The crowd here is really loud with the “Uh, vai morrer”, but one day we are all going to die, so it didn´t bother me. “

Ben Fowlkes ‏@benfowlkesMMA

Things you see ads for during a UFC event: penis enlargement pills, testosterone pills, cow poop. It’s like they read my Christmas list.

Stephie D ‏@CrooklynMMA

I wish Maia had never discovered his hands.

Dave Meltzer ‏@davemeltzerWON

Think he’s the most impressive fighter ever to come directly off TUF? I consider Roy more of a ringer.

Spilled Bag of Ice ‏@spilledbagofice

Dear MMA refs… you don’t *have to* have a signature hand gesture when you’re introduced.

 Matt Erickson ‏@MMAjunkieMatt

Just when I thought I had literally watched all of the fights EVER in one day, there are two more. Parts of today were work, not gon’ lie.

Karyn Bryant ‏@KarynBryant

Shoeface certainly was no loafer out there tonight…

Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani

Fans booing loudly at the mention of Wanderlei Silva. In Brazil. That’s pretty incredible.

Ben Fowlkes ‏@benfowlkesMMA

Fabio Maldonado, via the UFC: “I am really embarassed, I have never lost a fight like this before.” Well, damn.

 UFCONFOX ‏@UFCONFOX

Maldonado had fought 49 combined pro MMA & boxing matches, that was his 1st time really being TKO’d. Glover TKOd him but it was doc stoppage

 Stephie D ‏@CrooklynMMA

Cleveland needs to make a @smiocic day ASAP

Ash ‏@aGirlyMMA

Instant recap: half of you stunned; greatest finish ever; remarkable. The other half angry mob this was a terrible matchup I hate everything
