The UFC’s first event took place Saturday night in Bangor, ME (heh) and featured a main event between Ryan Bader and Ovince Saint Preux. As always, Twitter reacted.

Dana White: “It didn’t make financial sense to come to Bangor. It was a personal one for me.”

Ryan Bader vs. Ovince Saint Preux

Aljamain Sterling @FunkMasterAljO

Is it me or does OSP remind you guys of Keith Jardine with his awkward movement and blitzes?

Jonathan Snowden @mmaencyclopedia

Calling OSP “explosive” is especially galling as he moves like he’s in quicksand.

Erik Fontanez @Erik_Fontanez

Did OSP just wiggle his tongue out at Bader? Ew.

Ben Fowlkes @benfowlkesMMA

I can’t decide what bothers me more while watching OSP: the hands down style or the thin mustache?

Kevin Lee @MoTownPhenom

When somebody does some s— wrong and they call it “unorthodox”

Dave Doyle @davedoylemma

Somewhere along the way, OSP must had a coach who told him “Remember to keep your hands down at all times.”

TJ Grant @TJ_Grant

If OSP would use more basic combos I think he could do a lot better.

Marcelino Evil @KCBanditMMA

Why book these 2 for 5 rounds?

Jon Bones Jones @JonnyBones

Lol what am I watching right now

Chuck Mindenhall @ChuckMindenhall

It’s 1am in Bangor and there are people still fighting. Miragliotta is watching the action like a man wondering what’s in the fridge.

Andy Ogle @thelittleaxe

OSP’s cornermen just karate chopped the other cornermen in between the 4th and 5th round. WTF! Did you see that?

Derek Brunson @DerekBrunsonMMA

OSP’s corner man should get “move of the fight” with that “b***h shut up” backhand!

Urijah Faber @UrijahFaber

Anyone else catch the corner man bitch slapping the other corner man? Can we get this guy an award?

Dave Doyle ‏@davedoylemma

Oh man … “Break his arm!!!!!” guy is awesome, even if that’s the only awesome thing about this fight.

Stephie D ‏@CrooklynMMA

BREAK HIS ARM! THERE IS NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE! FINISH HIM!

Ken Pishna ‏@KenPishna

yes, sensei!!!

Jonathan Snowden ‏@mmaencyclopedia

Don’t see how OSP is going to break any arms like this. #uncoachable #badkid #cantfollowdirection

Anthony Johnson @Anthony_Rumble

Boring is all I have to say!

XY Beautiful ‏@XYBeautiful

he died for your sins

Ross Pearson vs. Gray Maynard

Shannon Knapp @shanknapp

Hate seeing Gray go down like that. Good fight!

ike vallie-flagg @IKEVF

I’m a fan of Maynard but I think another ko is bad for the brain man

Aljamain Sterling @FunkMasterAljO

At 35 YO + the battles Maynard has been in, might’ve shown that it may be time to hang em up and not tarnish his great UFC run any further.

Kelvin Gastelum @KelvinGastelum

Hate to see Maynard go out like that once again! As much as we all want to continue to see him fight. He should consider maybe retiring!

Stipe Miocic @smiocic

I don’t care what any of you think. @GrayMaynard is one of my favorite people in the @ufc

Damon Martin ‏@DamonMartin

Dana White says it’s probably time to have a discussion with Gray Maynard, but he’s not looking to chase him out of the sport

Tim Boetsch vs. Brad Tavares

jimi manuwa @POSTERBOYJM

Koooooo !! Wow. What a come back. @ufc

Stipe Miocic @smiocic

I’m happy for @TimBoetsch man. To do that in front of the home town crowd? #DreamComeTrue

Roy Nelson @roynelsonmma

Congrats to @TimBoetsch always fear man with power because you have to watch every second.

Julie Kedzie @julesk_fighter

I just can’t help liking Tim Boetsch a whole helluva lot

Alan Jouban vs. Seth Baczynski

TJ Grant @TJ_Grant

Space between upper lip and bottom of nose is best place to hit if you wanna put a man to SLEEP.

Stipe Miocic @smiocic

I love that Jouban just KO’d a dude and everyone still talks about his looks. Dude is cursed by beauty.

Mike Brown @mikebrownmma

Fight of the night, damn they were slugging it out. Jouban looked hurt and tired but pulled it off.

Tom Watson vs. Sam Salvey

John Stouffer @johnstouffer

Tom Watson broke his tibia in the first round of his fight, but still won! Damn!

Brian Stann ‏@BrianStann

yeah guy is really really tough, almost to a fault lol

Karyn Bryant ‏@KarynBryant

@AntoniHardonk shared this pic of Tom Watson w me: broke his tibia- that’s why the kicks slowed #UFCFightNight

MiddleEasy ‏@MiddleEasy

This Bangor, Maine show was so long Stephen King was able to write an entire book while watching.

Damon Martin ‏@DamonMartin

It’s almost 1:30am in Maine. I’m assuming all of the post fight parties will be held at the local all night Wal-Mart or 7-11?
