A Night of Tweets: UFC Fight Night
Mixed martial arts journalism is a serious business. Following the MMA community on Twitter, is not. The following is a light-hearted (and sometimes insightful) look at how the combat sports world viewed UFC Fight Night “Bader vs. St. Preux” via social networking.

Holy crap that scared me! OPS's corner should go in there and
fight the last round.

Any guess as to what @003_OSP is whispering into
@Sara_McMann's ear?

Holy God, there are five rounds of this? I don't know y'all.
That may be unhealthy for your soul.

I'll bet Dana White can't wait to brag about how the UFC set a
Bangor attendance record, beating the past record set by Right Said
Fred.

Gray Maynard has now been Knocked Out in 4 of his last 5 Fights
Possibly the end of Maynard's Career #UFCFightNight

Mark my words: you won’t see Gray fight again.

So we can all agree that Frankie Edgar has Gray's soul in his
trophy room, right?

Gray Maynard's bodyshots sound exactly like Rocky hitting beef
in the freezer.

Maynard is in Frank Mir territory; he always looks like he's
about 5 seconds from being knocked out.

If the Bangor fans were excited by homeboy Tim Boetsch, wait
till they catch their first glimpse of aptly named Gray
Mainerd.
— Jeff Wagenheim SI (@jeffwagenheim) August

Did Koscheck just say Maynard needs to tell himself he’s gonna
win the fight? That’s …… incredibly insightful.

Get ready, Hooters of Bangor. The Barbarian Horde shall descend

Tim Boetsch is a member of the Jake Shields club for fighting
professionally at middleweight and wrestling in the NCAA as a
heavyweight.

Tim Boetsch is the best wrestler from Maine ever. But not the
best fighting man out of the state. That title belongs to
Kilrane.

RFA to UFC pipeline is working exactly like those involved hoped
it would.

Alan Jouban has come a long way since his days in Zoolander.

It's times like this that I contemplate how many UFC
heavyweights Cain Velasquez could beat in a single-night gauntlet
match. At least four.

Huge win for Thiago Tavares and his steroids.

Man, no TRT has Belfort looking trim. Oh, it's Thiago Tavares,
nevermind.

I'm calling the first joke about Firas Zahabi being a bad human
being in case Makovsky wins and this fight isn't exciting.

Kudos to the judge that scored the fight for Murphy. Sure,
McMann landed takedowns, but you can't ignore more than 2-to-1
strikes landed.
— Rob Tatum (@RobTatumMMA) August

And now we come to the point in the evening where we're reminded
that Sara McMann is stuck on the prelims, which makes no sense at
all.

"Watson looking very sharp in the striking. Very fluid." Yes,
the air in front of Sam Alvey looks really flustered.

I like Smilin' Sam Alvey, but it's unfortunate that his grin
gives off more of a sexual predator vibe than an endearing one..

The UFC coming to Maine is the best thing to happen to the State since Tim Sylvia moved to Iowa. #UFCFightNight
— MMA Roasted (@MMARoasted) August 17, 2014
We don't even really like Tim Sylvia, but we'll always champion any cause that will possibly lead to public defecation.
— MiddleEasy (@MiddleEasy) August 17, 2014
When OSP fights in Maine tonight the black population of the
State will double. #UFCFightNight
— MMA Roasted (@MMARoasted) August

I'll admit it: I'm a little disappointed Tim Sylvia isn't on
this card. No rational explanation. I just am.
