A Night of Tweets: TUF 18 Finale
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 “The Ultimate Fighter 18” Finale via social networking.

Forget high paying jobs, fancy cars and trophy wives. Nothing
impresses the folks at a 10-year reunion like a first-round
TKO.

Nate Diaz just brutalized Gray Maynard. If jumping up right
after a stoppage proves it was early, falling down after proves it
was just.

Vintage Nathan Diaz. Just beat Gray Maynard senseless with
hyperaccurate, rangy punching. Most justified standing stop I've
seen in a minute

Mario Yamasaki stopped the fight with one second to go in R1.
Mistake? Rakoczy wasn't hurt. Just overwhelmed by Pena.

Finally, the guy who was better than the rest of the cast and
already beat all the best guys on the show gets the sub win. Yee,
Holdsworth.

Kim Winslow is a great referee and anyone who says otherwise is
sexist or has eyeballs

i can't prove that Jay Glazer is a human-sized sausage that the
UFC has taught to speak, but you can't prove he's not

When Niinimaki told his friends he planned to beat Rani Yahya
with takedowns & top control, you know some were like, Should I say
something?

When they call security to escort you from the office where your
ex-girlfriend works the dude who shows up probably looks like Jared
Rosholt

Walt Harris might have the longest legs in the UFC. His hips are
even with Jared Rosholt's nipples.
