UFC 186 in Tweets: Pros react to Demetrious Johnson's last-second submission, Rampage Jackson's return

He might have been booed while doing it, but UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson showed his world-class prowess once again with a last-second submission victory over Kyoji Horiguchi at UFC 186. Not the slugfest some hoped for, but Quinton Jackson earned a gritty win over fellow striker Fabio Maldonado in the night's co-main event.

See how the pros reacted to all the action from UFC 186.

MAIN EVENT

Main event time! I need a Krazy Bee shirt! Big Kid Yamamoto and Horiguchi fan. He'll need a special performance to get that belt though!

From X Box to a bald guy named Tommy. Times are changin #UFC186

Feels like this fight in on fast forward #ufc186

— Rafael dos Anjos (@RdosAnjosMMA) April 26, 2015

Horiguchi's timing looks excellent. 1st round goes to DJ tho. #UFC186

— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) April 26, 2015

Great performance thus far by the champ. 2-0 going to the 3rd

— Brad Tavares (@BradTavares) April 26, 2015

I'm not getting this hype about dj being the best mma tech ever. I find Tj, jose aldo, jon jones just technical but way more entertaining.

— Justin Buchholz (@JustinBuchholz) April 26, 2015

Me: Do you think he's a nice guy *points at DJ* Joe: Dunno. Never met him Me: Speculate Joe: Okay. Probably he is. Super engrossing fight

— Lauren Murphy (@LaurenMurphyMMA) April 26, 2015

Listen you fucking peasants, stop booing or I will throw u in there with them!! #UFC186

— kajan johnson (@IamRagin) April 26, 2015

Wow. Tapped him with, what, a second left?

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) April 26, 2015

4:59 of the 5th round!

— Tom Lawlor (@FilthyTomLawlor) April 26, 2015

Well that was cool but it seriously makes me wonder if he could have just done that the whole time??

— Lauren Murphy (@LaurenMurphyMMA) April 26, 2015

And then... Armbahhh

— Julianna Peña (@VenezuelanVixen) April 26, 2015

— Tyron T-Wood Woodley (@TWooodley) April 26, 2015

Unbelievable!!!!!! A beautiful finish almost at the mark of the finish of the fight. Great way to finish the fight Mighty Mouse. #UFC186

— Gesias JZ Cavalcante (@Gesias) April 26, 2015

DJ is beastly. Would NOT leave without the finish. Love it. Still pnd for pnd, Jon Jones & Aldo are 1 & 2 in my book. DJ is 3. #UFC186

— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) April 26, 2015

How could you not buy a Mighty Mouse pay per view #UFC186

— Sergio Pettis (@sergiopettis) April 26, 2015

Mighty Mouse is inspiring. Can't wait to get back to work.

RAMPAGE RETURNS

Rampage by 1st rd KO or Maldonado by dec

— Chris Weidman (@ChrisWeidmanUFC) April 26, 2015

Either Rampage wins by gogoplata or Maldonado wins by flying triangle. Trust me, I'm an expert. #UFC186

— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) April 26, 2015

Rampage needs to pro wrestling slam this dude he has zero grappling. #UFC186

— Justin Buchholz (@JustinBuchholz) April 26, 2015

Rampage throwing head kicks and Maldonado successfully lands an inside trip?! #UFC186

— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) April 26, 2015

You can't hit your chin then run. #UFC186

— Justin Buchholz (@JustinBuchholz) April 26, 2015

Maldonado carried on like an idiot in the cage. What was he even doing in there. #UFC186

— Angela Magana UFC (@AngelaMagana1) April 26, 2015

I think rampage looked good and showed a lot of heart against a tough guy like Maldonado

— Chris Weidman (@ChrisWeidmanUFC) April 26, 2015

That was a bit of a let down #UFC186

— Cody Gibson (@TheRenegade559) April 26, 2015

Good job @Rampage4real

— Tito Ortiz (@titoortiz) April 26, 2015

Great fight @Rampage4real 30-27 what you think? #UFC186

— Truck Gordon (@TruckMMA_UFC) April 26, 2015

Fabio really didn't bring it. I'm sure many expected a much much better fight than that. Rampage def deserved it. #UFC186

— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) April 26, 2015

FOTN

I'm taking my boy @cbdollaway ! He's getting back on track here tonight!

— Tom Lawlor (@FilthyTomLawlor) April 26, 2015

Let's go @Bisping!

— Tito Ortiz (@titoortiz) April 26, 2015

I like both guys. Both are loving fathers. I'm going to go CB because he has a younger family and isn't as financially secure #matureangela

— Angela Magana UFC (@AngelaMagana1) April 26, 2015

— Alptekin Ozkilic (@alpozkilicmma) April 26, 2015

Bisping looks like he's sparring cb has bad intentions on his shots. #UFC186

— Justin Buchholz (@JustinBuchholz) April 26, 2015

Should be even going into the third! #UFC186

— Cody Gibson (@TheRenegade559) April 26, 2015

Wow. Great work by both guys!!

Dollaway/Bisping was a great fight. They got the decision right. Had Bisping 2 rounds to 1. #UFC186

ROUGH DEBUT

If Makdessi has any balls he will call out Gegard Mousasi if he wins.
