UFC 234 in Tweets: Pros react to Israel Adesanya vs. Anderson Silva, more

Aljos about to tweet that he wants matrix shit

— A1 Iaquinta (@ALIAQUINTA) February 10, 2019

I’m not saying he’s gonna win, but I would LOVE if Anderson Silva came out and did some vintage “Spider” matrix shit!#UFC234

— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) February 10, 2019

I hope Anderson doesn’t do that Thai clinch where he lets his opponent punch him like 10 times for no reason

— Belal Muhammad (@bullyb170) February 10, 2019

Wow. The wait is over!! This was my main event in the first place !! #UFCMelbourne

— JIMI MANUWA (@POSTERBOYJM) February 10, 2019

Anderson just letting Israel punch him. #Ufc234

— The Mane Event™ (@EliasTheodorou) February 10, 2019

Treating a career-defining main event opportunity like a sparring match feels like a bad idea. #UFC234

— Sean O'Connell (@realOCsports) February 10, 2019

I like it

— GILBERT BURNS DURINHO (@GilbertDurinho) February 10, 2019

Great fight! The young the old. Very similar

— Chito Vera (@chitoveraUFC) February 10, 2019

I want this fight to go on forever, I don't want either guy to lose, I just want to watch forever #UFC234

— Leslie Smith (@LeslieSmith_GF) February 10, 2019

No matter how this fight ends @SpiderAnderson is the man #UFC234

— Jordan Johnson (@doublejmma) February 10, 2019

I keep catching myself holding my breath during this fight. Anderson still has that effect on me after all these years. #ufc234

— Michael Chiesa (@MikeMav22) February 10, 2019

True story: I was just so pumped watching Silva do that crazy hand work that I tried it myself, and poked myself in the eye!

— Chas Skelly (@ChasSkelly) February 10, 2019

Nice one herb for checking on mouthpieces in an Anderson fight

— michael (@bisping) February 10, 2019

We cannot ignore the fact that @chrishemsworth was just fan-boying cageside with an actual point and shoot camera, NOT a phone camera. #UFC234

— Sean O'Connell (@realOCsports) February 10, 2019

Always fun watch @SpiderAnderson compete, Adrenalin pumping everytime he fights.

— Rafael dos Anjos (@RdosAnjosMMA) February 10, 2019

The Chris finish twice just saying

— A1 Iaquinta (@ALIAQUINTA) February 10, 2019

Anderson is still the man! 43 yrs young! #UFCMelbourne

— James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) February 10, 2019

Congratulations @stylebender

— Platinum Mike Perry (@PlatinumPerry) February 10, 2019

That was awesome!

— Chas Skelly (@ChasSkelly) February 10, 2019

This fucking pussy
Can’t wait to be back!!!!!

— Marvin Vettori (@MarvinVettori) February 10, 2019

RESPECT!! @SpiderAnderson @stylebender #UFCMelbourne

— JIMI MANUWA (@POSTERBOYJM) February 10, 2019

Good way for Anderson to go out right there. If that’s the plan. Legend of the sport. #ufc234

— Scott Holtzman (@HotSauceHoltzy) February 10, 2019

Wish that fight was 5 rounds! Really enjoyed that striking chess match #UFC234

— Shane Burgos (@HurricaneShaneB) February 10, 2019

I’ll always buy an Anderson Silva fight the best to ever do it

— Belal Muhammad (@bullyb170) February 10, 2019

Team @SpiderAnderson Heeeey!

Anderson is one crafty, crafty Martial Artist.
You only develop these methods through years of hard fought experience.
Phenomenal performance.
The crafty veteran. Big respect always.
It would be an honor!

— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) February 10, 2019

So this Marco dude is straight up @SpiderAnderson at lightweight

— Erik Jon Koch (@NEWBREED04) February 10, 2019

Just how many Anderson Silva clones did the UFC make ? @marcosmarianomma looks like Spider-lite #UFC234

— Sean O'Connell (@realOCsports) February 10, 2019

For a sec there I thought Anderson Silva dropped down to lightweight or Groovy went up to middle #UFCMelbourne

— Jon SuperSaiyan Tuck (@JonCruzTuck) February 10, 2019

Pure dominance by lando #ufc234

— Belal Muhammad (@bullyb170) February 10, 2019

That dude was 6-4 no way he should have been fighting in the ufc let alone lando !

— Jarred Brooks (@The_monkeygod) February 10, 2019

Pretty close to perfect performance from @GroovyLando . Not many kimura finishes in Mma. So nice #ufc234

— Sarah Kaufman (@mmasarah) February 10, 2019

That was a solid performance by @GroovyLando

— Brandon Gibson (@SixGunGibson) February 10, 2019

That mullet is on point!!

— James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) February 10, 2019

Remove that stat or I’m coming to Australia

— A1 Iaquinta (@ALIAQUINTA) February 10, 2019

What’s joe dirt doing in the octagon?

— michael (@bisping) February 10, 2019

The shoulder-check takedown is gangster. I like Ricky Simon #UFC234

— Sean O'Connell (@realOCsports) February 10, 2019

Watching BJJ guys shoot on wrestlers @RickySimonUFC #UFC234 #stuffed #notachance

— Mike Pierce (@MikePierce170) February 10, 2019

Simon says If you cut up some avocados and chop up some tomatoes you can make some guacamullet

— Platinum Mike Perry (@PlatinumPerry) February 10, 2019

WOOOOOOOOOO @RickySimonUFC

— Paige VanZant (@paigevanzant) February 10, 2019

Simon did such a great job of being aggressive but disciplined and not allowing himself to get drawn into Yahya’s game. I liked that fight a lot #ufc234

— Sarah Kaufman (@mmasarah) February 10, 2019

Moral of the story.. never bet against a man with a World class mullet..

— James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) February 10, 2019

Kassem stayed alive in some terrible, locked in positions and subs, but finally has to tap, after being literally smothered for minutes by Montana. #ufc234 pic.twitter.com/za0iSM5Nfv

— The Mane Event™ (@EliasTheodorou) February 10, 2019

Great finish by Montana . Mounted triangle , elbows, arm bar. Back and forth until finally got the tap #ufc234

— Sarah Kaufman (@mmasarah) February 10, 2019

That was fun. When can we do that again? What do they say these days... Who wants that smoke ?! @paigevanzant #ufc #ufc234 pic.twitter.com/6gqUsxGLos

— Montana De La Rosa (@montanamarie211) February 10, 2019

Sam is not smiling for the first time in his career. Damn. #ufc234

— Michael Chiesa (@MikeMav22) February 10, 2019

This is gonna be an unpopular opinion, but I gotta say...I understand what Sam was saying there. None of those shots got through. Fight prolly should have been stopped when he was dropped tho.

— Chas Skelly (@ChasSkelly) February 10, 2019

Horrifically bad stoppage. This card is already compromised. Hate seeing that. #UFC234

— Sean O'Connell (@realOCsports) February 10, 2019

Sam got dropped and was being pounded on while he was turtled up. Sam wasn't defending himself properly, but he wasn't out either and looked to have recovered a bit. #ufc234 pic.twitter.com/xouXHIayb4

— The Mane Event™ (@EliasTheodorou) February 10, 2019

No smiles for alvey
