How tough is Whittaker. Incredible. Respect. #UFCChicago

Draw. #andstill #ufc225

— Zachary Makovsky (@ZachFunSize) June 10, 2018

Yoel played the long game. I think he took the last three rounds.

— Aiemann Zahabi (@Aiemannzahabi) June 10, 2018

Savage. Whittaker and Romero just put on a show.

— Andre Fili (@TouchyFili) June 10, 2018

Close fight! Whittaker landed so much but Yoel almost finished him twice..

— James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) June 10, 2018

3 rounds to 2 for Whittaker but the last round he had no offense. All Romero was it 10-8? What a fight

— Daniel Cormier (@dc_mma) June 10, 2018

Fight of the year. #UFC225Live

— Todd Duffee (@ToddDuffee) June 10, 2018

Amazing fight @robwhittakermma . True heart and grit along with all that talent. #UFC

— Chris Camozzi (@ChrisCamozzi) June 10, 2018

Rubber match with Yoel, Joe? Rubber match means it's tied 1-1. It's 2-0 Bobby, and Yoel missed weight. #ufc225

— The Mane Event™ (@EliasTheodorou) June 10, 2018

No way. @YoelRomeroMMA won that fight!

— Roan Jucao (@jucao) June 10, 2018

Happy for Robert he's resilient. But to me Yoel was much closer to finishing that fight in 3 of the 5 rounds.

— Aiemann Zahabi (@Aiemannzahabi) June 10, 2018

2-0 rubber match and didn’t make weight yeaaa na

— Al Iaquinta (@ALIAQUINTA) June 10, 2018

Just cause you say in my humble opinion doesn’t mean ya being humble. ‍♀️

— Bec Rawlings (@RowdyBec) June 10, 2018

Why does Joe keep asking about a 3rd Fight? Makes no sense

— Chris Camozzi (@ChrisCamozzi) June 10, 2018

This is absolute bullshit... 3rd fight no way this guy hasn’t made weight once

— Al Iaquinta (@ALIAQUINTA) June 10, 2018

Round 3 was round of the year, that was fight of the year. That was an amazing main event. Thank you @robwhittakermma and @YoelRomeroMMA. #ufc225

— Michael Chiesa (@MikeMav22) June 10, 2018

Congrats @robwhittakermma wicked display of heart and technique. #ufc225

Was a true war !! Amazing fight !! https://t.co/l63EvaIrD9

— Leonardo Santos (@LeoSantosbjj) June 10, 2018

Yoel Romero in 205 please do it

— Chito Vera (@chitoveraUFC) June 10, 2018

I think it was 3-2 @ColbyCovMMA @ufc

— Alpha Cat Zingano (@CatZingano) June 10, 2018

Colby fought a tremendous fight but RDA did not fight a smart fight IMO. @ufc

— Alan Jouban (@AlanJouban) June 10, 2018

Welterweight is Great Again!

— Chael Sonnen (@ChaelSonnen) June 10, 2018

What a joke. @USMAN84kg will beat the breaks off this turd. #UFC225

— Joe Ellenberger (@JoeEllenberger) June 10, 2018

Colby’s pressure and ability to force RDA into his game was well executed. Exactly what he needed to do to win that fight. RDA had his chances to move better laterally but I think the pre-fight antics from Covington helped create an emotional environment in there for RDA. #UFC225

— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) June 10, 2018

We all just lost !!! ‍♂️ #UFC225

— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) June 10, 2018

I helped this guy close out camp. All the shit talking aside he is a work horse and a dedicated fighter. Congratulations @ColbyCovMMA @GamebredFighter @mikebrownmma

Covington is to Welterweight as Esparza is to Strawweight. Same style of getting the job done. (FYI thought she got robbed tonight) #UFC225

What a f*cking pace!! #ufc225

— Alex Volkanovski (@alexvolkanovski) June 10, 2018

Love him or loathe him, you have to be prepared for the grinding, cardio-heavy style Colby brings to the table. If you don't do your homework and train for it, it's a long night. #ufc225 pic.twitter.com/BWLBRBA5kJ

— The Mane Event™ (@EliasTheodorou) June 10, 2018

Congrats to @AmericanTopTeam for producing a home grown champ. #UFC225

— Al Iaquinta (@ALIAQUINTA) June 10, 2018

Colby Covington is the UFC interim champion! Love him or hate him. @ColbyCovMMA is game man. He grinds and goes crazy hard. #imo

— Daniel Cormier (@dc_mma) June 10, 2018

He says he is coming for Tyron do you think he beats him?

— Stephen Thompson (@WonderboyMMA) June 10, 2018

Get this bitch ready! @ufc @danawhite hit my line now! pic.twitter.com/6gzKwyvKpH

— Tyron T-Wood Woodley (@TWooodley) June 10, 2018

Bitch Please! I let you bump your gums. Now you got smoke! I’m exposing you. You were and always will be my warm-up round! #UFC187 https://t.co/cVzrj6Iq1O

Smart holly, using wrestling in this one

— Chito Vera (@chitoveraUFC) June 10, 2018

I like seeing Holly's ground game!! #Ufc225

— Leslie Smith (@LeslieSmith_GF) June 10, 2018

If @HollyHolm would just drive her feet she would be getting beautiful takedowns. #UFC225

— Corey Anderson UFC (@CoreyA_MMA) June 10, 2018

Congrats Holly Holm #UFC225

— Cub Swanson (@CubSwanson) June 10, 2018

Great fight by Holmes!!#UFC255

— Stephen Thompson (@WonderboyMMA) June 10, 2018

Dang it sorry y’all holm lol my bad guys

— Stephen Thompson (@WonderboyMMA) June 10, 2018

Megan is tough as fuck, was a great fight but Holy really showed her experience & level in competition she’s faced.

— Bec Rawlings (@RowdyBec) June 10, 2018

@HollyHolm You are awesome. A straight up tank. Congrats #ufc225 @ufc o

— Max Griffin (@maxPAINmma) June 10, 2018

Let’s do it @HollyHolm

— Amanda Nunes (@Amanda_Leoa) June 10, 2018

That’s close and I would not be surprised if there’s a split decision here... Great to watch @bambamtuivasa hanging with the legend and pushing that pace... I got him for the W narrowly #UFC225 #ShoeyTime

— Damien Brown (@beatdown155) June 10, 2018

I’m thinking arlovski has it!

— Stephen Thompson (@WonderboyMMA) June 10, 2018

Arlovski once again goes to a dec against a heavy hitter. He's a crafty vet, to say the least, and people forget how good he was in his prime. #ufc225

This fight is embarrassing I just don't get it, why will you put this on PPV #ufc226

Well at least @CMPunk is earning all that $ ... thanks for coming out.

— Ian McCall (@Unclecreepymma) June 10, 2018

To many pussies hating on punk, get your money up gain more clout and you'd be able to do what you want too!

— Mike "Biggie" Rhodes (@TeamRocBiggie) June 10, 2018

Acting casual and bored from top position isn’t cool, Mike Jackson. If it is so easy for you, advance and finish. #ufc225

— Sean O'Connell (@realOCsports) June 10, 2018

@cmpunk that was the worst most embarrassing fight I have ever seen and to have that on a fight card let alone a main event. Is a slap in the face for every other proper fighter. His opponent Jackson a joke as well. @ufc massive fail

— Anton Zafir (@AntonZafirUFC) June 10, 2018

I don’t blame either guy for taking the opportunity to fight in the UFC but WTF, I can’t believe this is on a PPV or in the UFC

— Chris Camozzi (@ChrisCamozzi) June 10, 2018

Win, lose, or draw, I’m really happy for CM Punk. Not many men would sack up to put their nuts on the line in front of millions of ppl. That’s a win in itself, whether or not he belongs in the UFC at this very moment. #UFC225

— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) June 10, 2018

Joke

— John Moraga (@chicanojohn) June 10, 2018

Can you cut both fighters...?!!? #UFC225

— Emil Valhalla Meek (@emilvalhalla) June 10, 2018

This is a fucking joke #ufc225

— AlexSpartanNicholson (@spartanlife32) June 10, 2018

@CMPunk has heart! He isn’t quitting on himself!

— Daniel Cormier (@dc_mma) June 10, 2018

Theres probably 100 fighters out there that have been in the @ufc and never won a fight in the octagon... Mike Jackson is about to surpass them... Congrats guy. ‍♂️ #ufc225

— Corey Anderson UFC (@CoreyA_MMA) June 10, 2018

Idgaf what anybody says. I respect the heart CM Punk just displayed.

— Andre Fili (@TouchyFili) June 10, 2018

This....
A lot of comments in my mentions and you’re the first to recognize that he doesn’t need the money. He’s doing it because he wants to test himself and be apart of the journey of a fighter. Now that, you can’t put a price tag on. https://t.co/V3qs6MNNC0

— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) June 10, 2018

I respect cmpunk, I don’t know him, but all the ppl that talk shit or why he’s on maincard are a bunch of pussies in special fighters.Go and txt the matchmaker about it he’s the 1 making it happen or the Dana.Oh I forget you’re scare of losing your job,sorry @CMPunk sells more ha

— Chito Vera (@chitoveraUFC) June 10, 2018

I’ll tell you this @CMPunk has more balls then 99 percent of people on this earth. Much love to my brother.

— Erik Jon Koch (@NEWBREED04) June 10, 2018

@CMPunk Salute my brother love you. Balls of Steel and heart of gold.
