OH: UFC On Fox 2 Post-Fight Commentary From Fighters

Eric Wisely gets his calf crushed by Charles Oliveira at UFC on Fox 2 Saturday night (via Esther Lin at MMA Fighting)

I hope you all enjoyed the fights last night on UFC on Fox 2! There were a few surprises and some fun and exciting moments (like that calf-crusher you see on the right) and, all-in-all, I think it was a pretty solid card (especially since it was free!). Fighters on Twitter had some definite opinions about what they were seeing, and what they did, and the tweets were flying. Here is what everyone was saying about the fights.

The Winners:

Chris Weidman:

Thanks to my sponsors, my family, friends, and fans! This was the toughest 10 day of my life and I'm glad it paid off! Enjoying a nice break @ the Marriott. Thanks a lot to my sponsors @BadBoyMMA @MicroTechCEO Incapital, American Ethanol & Air Force Reserve

Chris Camozzi:

Thank you everyone for the support!!! Great night! I owe it all to my team and sponsors! Thank you everyone for the support and kind words. It makes it all worth it! Wish my fight had aired but hopefully next time! At the airport now. Thank you @danawhite @ufc @seanshelby . It's always an honor to fight on the biggest stage in the world! Love my job

Evan Dunham:

Thanks everyone for the messages and support. Felt off in the first but the momentum changed and was confident I was going to put him away in the 3rd. Thanks again and i am looking forward to doing it again soon. Had a great time here in Chicago awesome city and great fans. Thank you for having us. Hope to be back soon.

Cub Swanson:

Thanks everyone!

Lavar Johnson:

Great to be in the @ufc ! Thank you @danawhite , @crazybobcook , Thrive MMA, @ZinkinEnt & @dethrone ! Looking forward to showing fans more!

The Non-Winners:

Michael Bisping:

As they say don't let it go to the judges. I thought I won round 1 +2 but the judges thought different, congrats to chael. Sorry guys! / Oh and thanks for the words of support guys. Really means alot. Thankyou!!!!!

Joey Beltran:

Well when you fight the way I do stuff like that can happen. Props to @lavarjohnson for the win. Not sure what's next for me but I'll be ok.

Nik Lentz:

I had fun in that fight. Wish we could have gone to the third. Unlucky cut..but I guess thats the game. Thanks for support! This has not been the best few months for me, but with the growing pains in changing stylistically, I will be twice the fighter I was before. Will see tomorrow what kind of brace or cast I will get for the hand.

Dustin Jacoby:

@ChrisCamozzi thanks man! I have a lot of respect for you too. The fight was everything I knew it would be! Let's keep in touch brotha!


Those Who Were Just Fans Like the Rest of Us

Ross Pearson: Holy Santa Claus shit it's cold outside in Chicago!!!

Dan Henderson: Congrats to @sugaRashadevans. Looked good with a real solid performance.

Kenny Florian: #UFCOnFOX brings closure. 2012 we will see Sonnen vs The Spider for 185lbs belt & Evans vs Bones for 205lbs strap. Weidman = true contender. / Rashad showed a very complete & composed game. Davis will come back from this as a force. 5 rounds of learning = great experience. / Sonnen's pressure/td's earned him a close win. Bisping was extremely impressive on short notice. Chael will need some new tricks for Silva. / Weidman cut 32lbs in 10 days to beat a dangerous vet in Maia. Will gain a lot of confidence from this win. Future threat for 185lbs belt.

Erik Koch: After last nights speech I think @sonnench is my new hero.

Roy Jones: Yeah @SugaRashadEvans won that!!! Ya'll gonna learn today...... Al right al right al right #BLACKZILLIANS

But it has a weird feeling #ufconfox2 / Double KO anyone . Bisping vs Sonnen #ufconfox2 / When I say ill take Chael down at will , I mean all day #ufconfox2 / If Bisping knew how 2 wrestle he can get a takedown easily.He's bullying Chael against the cage.Chael just aggressive in general! #ufconfox2 / Chael positioning on the cage is weak.
