Below is how the fighters reacted to the UFC in the ESPN 14 main event.
I still want to fight until someday.
Its striking is beautiful.
Stay Darren!– Israel Adesanya (@stylebender) July 26, 2020
Having shared the octagon with both guys … the mental aspect of the fights is almost as strenuous as the physical. You constantly have to be alert for 25 minutes. Big win @robwhittakermma # UFCFightIsland3

Hell yeah! So incredibly happy to see Rob back in column W.
Aussies representing the highest level !! Let’s go # UFCFightIsland3

The striking judge gives the 5th to draw the blood, the fighting judge gives it to Rob in the takedowns. The big question here is what discipline the 3rd judge favors

Wow did it with that last takedown.

We were supposed to fight for the title. This is a man who has earned my respect and admiration. But @robwhittakermma and I have unfinished business. All right, I’m coming off 3 losses.
I know fans would love this. # UFCFightIsland3– # OnAmission4Gold (@KelvinGastelum) July 26, 2020
Wow mma legends! What a fight! So much respect for these guys from over 60 fights combined and they still bring it! wow # UFCFightIsland3

Much respect for these legends #Ufc

I’m sorry for Nogueira here … hard loss to swallow. I don’t think he lost, but I don’t think he won either. Going out in a classic fight like that is no big deal. Thanks for all the years U poured into this game and paved the way for us! # UFCFightIsland3

Lil Nog is a legend. Respect and congratulations on retirement.

The Gustafson man was like a gazelle trying to escape from a lion.

Respect ✊ the name of @FabricioWerdum! Bjj World Champ! ADCC World Champion! UFC Champ! Beat Fedor, Velázquez! I had a bad fight but come on! That is a legend! Congratulations dos nossos # UFCFightIsland3

Great victory for Werdum. His biggest victory was still throwing a boomerang at Covington in Aus, though # UFCFightIsland3

Gus was a few steps back on that arm bar. I wish we could have seen them mix a little more. Congratulations Werdum! # UFCFightIsland3

Wow, what a victory for old Dawg Werdum! I did not expect that. Still got juice on his way to free agency
– Arjan Singh Bhullar (@TheOneASB) July 26, 2020
Great performance from Werdum !!
– James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) July 26, 2020
I didn’t expect Gus to be that easy to take down in this fight. You wouldn’t be surprised if you retire again. Big win for werdum after that last fight

Outside of the damage, I think this is the best Esparza has ever seen. Mixing it well. She just needs to freeze the RD and she should make the decision, if not the end. Rodríguez has nasty punches and still punches her back to keep her interesting!

Carla is doing a great job controlling the fight

Paul Craig got his credit back from tn street, after his son overflowed it with his by looking down. In gang, that shit could not go unpunished! If you know, you know. # UFCFightIsland3 #TheWeeklyScraps!
Ps: I don’t actually have a gang– Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) July 26, 2020
Low blow and a puncture in the eye and no deducted point? What other illegal moves are there for him to do? So you drop your child while you have one eye? Come on son!

At some point you just have to go sobatta

Wow, who in the world is khamzat Chimaev? This guy right here ends up tearing up guys. Two of them in one week. Wow
– Daniel Cormier (@dc_mma) July 26, 2020
Khamzat is an animal !! Excited to see your trip !! @ufc
