— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) February 3, 2019
Great night for the @ufc OGs. Always fun to see @josealdojunior win. Dudes a killer. I want to throw punches as hard as Aldo does when I grow up.
— Alex Morono (@alexmoronomma) February 3, 2019
WoW!!!! way for Aldo to capitalize #UFCFortaleza
— Jon SuperSaiyan Tuck (@JonCruzTuck) February 3, 2019
Jose went full berserker, flurrying on Moicano and chasing him while landing until the ref waved it off. Jose then dives, once again, into the Brazilian crowd. #UFCFoًrtaleza pic.twitter.com/d8JcgnnlhQ
— The Mane Event™ (@EliasTheodorou) February 3, 2019

— Corey Anderson UFC (@CoreyA_MMA) February 3, 2019
And Maia gets a standing tap from Good, via RNC, while riding the back. Kind of amazing. #UFCFortaleza pic.twitter.com/O82Fqkr3NB

CHARLES OLIVEIRA DEF. DAVID TEYMUR
Spinning elbow, right into ANOTHER submission finish! That’s 13 for Oliveira in the @UFC now! #UFCFortaleza

Olivera really looked impressive there. Showed great striking and overcame the pokes!
— Chas Skelly (@ChasSkelly) February 3, 2019
Wow beautiful finish by Oliveira #UFCFORTALEZA pic.twitter.com/VJ0uCWCkAy
— GILBERT BURNS DURINHO (@GilbertDurinho) February 3, 2019
He can’t dance like my friend Johnny walker but he sure can fight
— Belal Muhammad (@bullyb170) February 3, 2019
WTF, ref??? The fighter turns his back and shells up, even standing, you wave off the fight!!! Eventually, Teymur turns around and Charles thankfully takes him down and subs him. #UFCFortaleza pic.twitter.com/q4oyGsCXtj
— The Mane Event™ (@EliasTheodorou) February 3, 2019
Wow and another Submission win for Charles Olivera #UFCFortaleza

Jonny walker showman. Figuraça, dançarino e bom lutador. @canalCombate @ufc
— THALES LEITES (@thalesleites) February 3, 2019
Almost feel like should be dq’d for attempted soccer luck to the head!
— Matt Brown (@IamTheImmortal) February 3, 2019
Walker face is the new Verdum face #ufcFortaleza
— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) February 3, 2019
Rakic v Walker next? #UFC
— Chas Skelly (@ChasSkelly) February 3, 2019
@bisping and co are talking about this kick (that missed) like it was intentionally thrown to the head but what’s the chance he intended to throw it to the body and in fact I think it would’ve hit the shoulder had it connected #UFCFortaleza
— Damien Brown (@beatdown155) February 3, 2019
After that hook kick, Walker pulled the hand down before he landed the spinning backfist. Not sure it was intentional, but it was definitely sweet... #ufcfortaleza
— Zachary Makovsky (@ZachFunSize) February 3, 2019
Poor Tate, he ran out of there asap. https://t.co/2rYVm1NlzS
— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) February 3, 2019
LIVIA RENATA SOUZA DEF. SARAH FROTA
They said Souza is a rapper outside of fighting. Her and Woodly should do a #ufc soundtrack album. In English and Portuguese... they could get the internet talking. Souza Gurl and TWoods... I could see it now. #UFCFortaleza
— Corey Anderson UFC (@CoreyA_MMA) February 3, 2019
It’s shocking that we’re watching a strawweight fight with a flyweight in it... Let’s Go Souza #UFCForteleza
— Damien Brown (@beatdown155) February 3, 2019
Pulling guard in the 3rd of a close fight might not have been a good idea..
— James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) February 3, 2019
Not sure I agree with Souza getting the nod, but since Frota missed weight by seven pounds, I'm not that upset. #UFCFortaleza pic.twitter.com/b9hVDjkCRM
— The Mane Event™ (@EliasTheodorou) February 3, 2019
Make weight next time! “But I had more energy bc I didn’t cut the extra 7 lbs! I had to have won!” #UFCFortaleza
— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) February 3, 2019
Heeey! @livinhamma Boa!
