Welcome to the weird and wild world of MMA Social Media.
While the rest of the world were busy celebrating the Royal Wedding this weekend, the MMA World got UFC Chile out of the way. There was a lot of respect shown throughout the weekend in the web world, and as always some nastiness. Here are the pick of the bunch from the weekend.
Social Media Wrap – 21/5/2018
Usman or Tyrone – Who did it better?
Kamaru Usman ran away with a dominant decision over Demian Maia at UFC Chile, and introduced his entry into title contention. There was respect shown by both fighters after the bout.
Congratulations to @USMAN84kg for the win. it was a great experience to compete against you. When I took the call 3 weeks ago, I knew it would be a very hard challenge and I’m proud to have come here and done it. You deserved the chance and Chile deserved a card. Best of luck. pic.twitter.com/M27biVDvr5

Then Kamaru went after WW Champion Tyrone Woodley.
I have one question @TWooodley who did it better?🤔🤔 #ImComing4thatStrap

Tyrone duly obliged.
Congrats my man. I’ll be here when you make it here, and I’ll be here after you get a crack at the strap. #Levels #WoodleysWeight #AndForever https://t.co/dQnYhbpMLd

Mike Perry comes up with ingenious idea.
I’ll say it now cuz I’ve been saying it. Someone gonna take my idea but this will be proof. Fighting octagon or circle or square. Whatever shape, the fight should take place in a bulletproof glass ring. #PlatinumPromotions No more grabbin the cage. No more blocked view @danawhite

The twitter-ati couldn’t let this one pass.
Somebody take away his check mark 🤦🏻♂️ https://t.co/PfEgkcz8Hd

Maybe even the floor too so you could put a camera under there too.

I want that Title Shot.
— The Diamond (@DustinPoirier) May 2, 2018
Get on the same card as the 155 pound title fight, make sure it's near your hometown, bide your time for someone to poull out, maintain good credit, get Conor coked up and have him throw a dollie through a bus the day before. https://t.co/eRCY5nRKm3

Alistair Overeem reacts to being on the undercard
Overeem’s fight with Curtis Blaydes at UFC 224 got moved down to the under-card, and he doesn’t seem bothered.
For the record I have no problem with the decision because now people in Europe don't have to stay up late and the sooner the better.
