MMA 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 on FX 8 via social networking.
Wow, that was the best TRT commercial I have ever seen.

Vitor Belfort sure looks explosive and powerful these days. Must be his work ethic.

Let's be honest—no amount of TRT lands that kick for Belfort. That was some next level coordination, timing and pure warrior instinct.

Spinning back kick directly to the pills. My god. It's like what Dennis Siver would do if he caught you in bed with his girlfriend.

"The following program contains violence. Viewer discretion is advised." I like Fuel TV's optimism....

Under Stockton rules, Cariaso might win this decision. Under actual rules, no, probably not.

Pump a favored fighter up as being from Chute Boxe, watch that fighter almost get KO'd by a wrestler repeatedly. Welcome to 2013, MMA fans.
