— Tyron T-Wood Woodley (@TWooodley) September 6, 2015
DJ talking to Dodson is looking like “better luck next time buddy!” By the body language. #UFC191
— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) September 6, 2015
#andstill MM doesn’t look like he just pushed a crazy pace for 25min. Impressive especially since Dodson is so good #ufc191

ANDREI ARLOVSKI DEF. FRANK MIR
I got AA winning that… Another close fight
— Brad Tavares (@BradTavares) September 6, 2015
Thought Frank won …..@ufc
— Tyron T-Wood Woodley (@TWooodley) September 6, 2015
Sounds like the judges were punishing Mir for stalling #UFC191
— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) September 6, 2015
I don’t understand how the judges just scored that fight. I had it for Mir close maybe split. Idk #UFC191
— Chris Wade (@CWadeMMA) September 6, 2015
Myself and the hwy division and the @ufc apologize for that fight sorry http://t.co/D1uUghScV6
— Roy Nelson (@roynelsonmma) September 6, 2015
I thought Mir won that
— Randa Markos (@randamma) September 6, 2015
I guess Frank Mir vs Fedor for the ULTIMATE DAD BOD Championship will never take place #UFC191
— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) September 6, 2015
That was wrong…
— Jon SuperSaiyan Tuck (@JonCruzTuck) September 6, 2015
That was a close fight. I’ll go Arlovski 29-28 #UFC191

Unlucky @POSTERBOYJM next time bro. That’s the fight game. You did yourself proud.

So it’s true, only Cormier can take a punch from Johnson and live to tell the tale #UFC191
— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) September 6, 2015

And @charliemurphy brings home with win … The darkness scares me @Anthony_Rumble
— Ian McCall (@Unclecreepymma) September 6, 2015
Jimi “wake up” game too strong #UFC191
— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) September 6, 2015
My hunch was wrong. Boy hit haaaard. #UFC191
— James Krause (@TheJamesKrause) September 6, 2015
That would’ve been a great time for Anthony Johnson to apologize & make a statement against domestic violence and live it! #UFC191
— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) September 6, 2015
COREY ANDERSON DEF. JAN BLACHOWICZ
30-25?! Holy fuck!
— russell doane (@RussellDoane135) September 6, 2015
Not sure I’ve ever seen 2x 30-25 on a score card before. #UFC191
— James Krause (@TheJamesKrause) September 6, 2015
Nice work @CoreyA_MMA @PinosPizza @almeidabjj #UFC191
— Zachary Makovsky (@ZachFunSize) September 6, 2015
Pressure bursts pipes. Mmmmm. #ufc191
— Angela Magana UFC (@AngelaMagana1) September 6, 2015
My brother said Corey look like a Mandingo fighter from Django .
— Kevin Lee (@MoTownPhenom) September 6, 2015
Not his fault dude couldn’t get off his back! #UFC191
— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) September 6, 2015
Blachowicz unable to stand on his feet due to exhaustion at the end of the fight. Anderson really took it rd 2/3 –#ufc191
— Sarah Kaufman (@mmasarah) September 6, 2015
Wasn’t Blachowicz the name of the guy in Wolfenstein? #UFC191
— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) September 6, 2015
If you were beastin 25/8 would you be eligible for overtime? There are so many questions #metaphysics #essentialism #ufc191
— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) September 6, 2015
@CoreyA_MMA looking good out there kid! Hard work pays off!!
— Frankie Edgar (@FrankieEdgar) September 6, 2015
PAIGE VANZANT DEF. ALEX CHAMBERS
Congrats @PaigeVanzantUFC so proud!!
— Cody Garbrandt (@Cody_Nolove) September 6, 2015
Wow impressive … And you know how I feel about women fighting haha
— Ian McCall (@Unclecreepymma) September 6, 2015
Hopefully they don’t leap Paige up too fast. She needs to work on head movement before getting JJ.
— Kevin Lee (@MoTownPhenom) September 6, 2015
Good win but I think PVZ missed a trick by using all her developing skills which looked messy. I think it blew her showcase on PPV #ufc191
— Angela Magana UFC (@AngelaMagana1) September 6, 2015
Beautiful Paige harnesses her ugly fighting style perfectly. All while a “smiling” #UFC191
— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) September 6, 2015
‘So fun to watch’ is the new Roganism for strawweights with no power #UFC191
— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) September 6, 2015
Van Zant lowkey the energizer bunny #UFC191
— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) September 6, 2015
ROSS PEARSON DEF. PAUL FELDER
Ross seems to be the quicker of the two. Felder is still plenty dangerous, but the smashes champ is quite successful so far… #UFC191
— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) September 6, 2015
Did anybody else see how hard it looked like Pearson just kick Felder’s elbow? That’s the worst
— Andre Fili (@TouchyFili) September 6, 2015
Ross doing some really subtle, good body work in this fight. #UFC191
— James Krause (@TheJamesKrause) September 6, 2015
Such a great fight!
— Randa Markos (@randamma) September 6, 2015
Very technical fight between Felder and Pearson! #UFC191
— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) September 6, 2015
I think I’d give it to Ross
— Brad Tavares (@BradTavares) September 6, 2015
Great fight but I think Ross won
— James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) September 6, 2015
Great fight! Love Felder’s muaythai style but Pearson saw everything coming in the 3rd. #UFC191
— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) September 6, 2015
Been a huge @RossTheRealDeal fan for a long time and tonight shows why. Beautiful slip and rip style executed tonight @ufc #UFC191
— Ray Borg (@tazmexufc) September 6, 2015
Split decision?! WTH. #UFC191
— James Krause (@TheJamesKrause) September 6, 2015
Wooooo congrats @RossTheRealDeal ? #alliancemma
— ‘Rowdy’ Bec Rawlings (@RowdyBec) September 6, 2015
Joe Rogan like a wrestling coach, “ok guys take a knee” #UFC191
— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) September 6, 2015
I had Pearson winning Rnd 1 & 3 but very close #UFC191 I think the judges got this one right
— Brian Stann (@BrianStann) September 6, 2015
Great fight by Pearson and Felder! Pearson is as smooth as they come with his hands. Would love to pick his brain on MMA boxing
— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) September 6, 2015

HOLY SHIT! #UFC191
— James Krause (@TheJamesKrause) September 6, 2015
I thought the lighter weights were supposed to be more technical. That was a sloppy heavyweight fight if I’ve ever seen one. #UFC191
— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) September 6, 2015
#UFC191 holy shit, glad I didn’t miss that one. Cisco Rivera is one of my favorite fighters, even in defeat. what a fucking brawl!
— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) September 6, 2015
