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 on Fox 9 via social networking.

With GSP out now, Demetrious Johnson is now MMA's most professional man, just punching the time card, improving, booking men hospital trips.
— Jordan Breen (@jordanbreen) December 15, 2013WOW!!! What a finish!!! @mightymouseUFC retains his title!! https://t.co/JZuMco6vBh
— UFC (@ufc) December 15, 2013Immediate cynical take: great KO could help Johnson's star power, but short fight hurts FOX ratings.
— Luke Thomas (@SBNLukeThomas) December 15, 2013Remember when Demetrius Johnson said Benavidez throws hard with his eyes closed?
— RJ Clifford (@RJcliffordMMA) December 15, 2013What's the over-under on the number of hammer fists that DJ landed before it was stopped? 6? That's speed.
— Mike Whitman (@mikewhitmanmma) December 15, 2013Faber is one of the best finishers in MMA history. When he is facing non-champs, he doesn't usually just win big, he blows doors off homies.
— Jordan Breen (@jordanbreen) December 15, 2013Faber channeled his Thailand street fight there. So vicious a finisher is Faber Joe.
— Rich Hansen (@MMATorchRich) December 15, 2013Danzig's ass is not for sale. So he's either against slavery or homophobic.
— midnite (@123midnite) December 15, 2013Danzig's shorts say "Not For Sale"...Askren's say "Please Buy Me" #UFConFOX9

Ryan "Shit Ain't" Flare
Ryan "I Got Dat" Flare
— tanya (@TheTanyaAttack) December 15, 2013On a separate note, I was told McKenzie showed up sans mouthpiece or shorts. Someone got those for him at a store nearby.
— Ariel Helwani (@arielhelwani) December 15, 2013Coincidentally, I helped the CSAC with some data analysis this week. The conclusion was that 10-8 rounds are not used adequately in MMA.

— Tomas Rios (@TheTomasRios) December 15, 2013Judging incompetence! Refereeing incompetence! Castillo vs Barboza had it all!
— Jon (@jonJpatrick) December 15, 2013Rogan called Bobby Green "Bobby Brown"...it's his prerogative. #UFConFOX9
— MMA Roasted (@MMARoasted) December 15, 2013"This is big! THIS IS BIG!" The professional announcer says of an inconsequential late flurry in a lopsided fight.
— Tomas Rios (@TheTomasRios) December 15, 2013RT @BjornRebney: :) ... wait.... :( ?... ;
— Chris Nelson (@3amMMA) December 14, 2013Despite not having any warmup fights in the WSOF, ex-Bellator champ Zack Makovsky looks sharp in his UFC debut. Imagine that.

— Jed I. Goodman (@jedigoodman) December 14, 2013STILL HAS THE TAG ON! RT @BrandonfrmNJ: Cody shorts @jordanbreen pic.twitter.com/7LrzIDoUB9
— FrontRowBrian (@FrontRowBrian) December 14, 2013Oh my. The legend of Cody McKenzie grows. Fighting in MMA shorts with the tags still on.
— Jon (@jonJpatrick) December 14, 2013McKenzie can't return his shorts now that Big John ripped off the tag. There goes three bucks down the drain.
— Dann Stupp (@MMAjunkieDann) December 14, 2013I just realized that if GSP drank more NOS Active, maybe he wouldn't have to step away for a while. He should buy some. With his money.
— Matt Erickson (@MMAjunkieMatt) Cody McKenzie seriously looks like a dude that would've gotten beat into a coma on a Monte Cox show in a Quad Cities titty bar in 1998.
— Jordan Breen (@jordanbreen) December 14, 2013The beating was so thorough, Trujillo is now going to go to Bowling's locker room and take his wallet, and Bowling will say nothing.
— jim genia (@jim_genia) December 14, 2013We're just two fights in on tonights #UFCFightNight card and we just spotted this guy. #JustBleed pic.twitter.com/D90kWdolrM
— UFC (@ufc) December 14, 2013Abel Trujillo was so impressive in dispatching Roger Bowling that Joe Rogan finally started pronouncing his last name correctly.
— Tristen Critchfield (@TCritchfield52) December 14, 2013Breaking News: The UFC has installed a Doggy Door in the Octagon in order for Team Alpha Male to enter. #UFC
— MMA Roasted (@MMARoasted) December 14, 2013Official Score card: Alptekin Ozkilic wins by split decision (30-27, 29-28, 28-29) over Darren Uyenoyama. pic.twitter.com/cxlKnRYXPv
