It’s Valentine’s Day, and you know what that means: there are tons of photos of happy MMA fighters and their partners enjoying romantic days around the world. Take a look!
Valentine’s Day. No holiday creates more excitement and / or dread in people than this celebration of love. Get it right, and you’re well on your way to making it through another 365 days of happiness. Screw it up, and we don’t know what to tell you. It ain’t good. Unless you got yourself one of those anti-consumerism anarcho-hippy partners that has no interest in taking part in shallow holidays created to sell flowers and gift cards. Or you’re alone. Either way, the stress is off.
Okay, maybe we’re being a bit silly regarding how demanding Valentine’s Day is on a relationship. Good partnerships are effortlessly good, so we hope you’ve had as lovely of a day as many of the UFC and MMA fighters below, who opened up on social media and shared photos and messages with their fans about their love lives. Learn something from them, or just creep their partners. Whatever. It’s all good.
And if you’re feeling a bit low, remember these wise words from Arianny Celeste: “For all y’all bummed out today…it’s a commercialized day so don’t stress it too much. Love ya damn self!!”
Let’s kick this off with a post that doesn’t technically mention Valentine’s Day, but is a bit of wonderful news from Donald Cerrone on this day of love: he’s gonna be a daddy again!
