No argument. Best Cheater Ever. #ufc235

— Zachary Makovsky (@ZachFunSize) March 3, 2019

Man I thought we were about to see a hamill moment #ufc235

— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) March 3, 2019

Damm Jon Jones is good #UF235

— Bec Rawlings (@RowdyBec) March 3, 2019

And this is why I said the LHWT and HWT division are the weakest, in regards to talent and skill-set. Compare it to the TOP 15 to the men’s 135, 145, 155, 170, and 185 lb division. Tell me I’m fucking lying.#UFC235

— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) March 3, 2019

@lionheartasmith corner is too much Disney movie and not enough actual coaching imo #UFC235

— Katlyn Chookagian (@blondefighter) March 3, 2019

@JonnyBones just making that look easy sad for @lionheartasmith just couldn’t get into it

— Anton Zafir (@AntonZafirUFC) March 3, 2019

Anthony Smith could have potentially won a belt on that foul and didn’t . Respect #ufc235

— Sean O'Connell (@realOCsports) March 3, 2019

Awesome seeing @JonnyBones holding the @MonsterEnergy drink with the new @ufc legacy belt as the holster! Congrats champ

— @CrisCyborg on IG #CyborgNation (@criscyborg) March 3, 2019

Ok well I was wrong jones is just too good, Smith still in it but Jones too much

— Ross Pearson (@RossTheRealDeal) March 3, 2019

The king remains the king!

Congrats @USMAN84kg , competing against you was a great experience that made me learn a lot about myself, and grow as a martial artist, as a competitor and as a person. I honestly believed you would be Champion one day, and here you are! it’s much well deserved, congratulations!

— Demian Maia (@demianmaia) March 3, 2019

Colby is fucked. Next welterweight title fight is Usman vs Askren. Enough said. #ufc235

— Michael Chiesa (@MikeMav22) March 3, 2019

Flawless Victory!! #andnew #UFC235

— Corey Anderson UFC (@CoreyA_MMA) March 3, 2019

Damnt ! Kamaru just got my teary eyed with that speech about his daughter

— Chris Weidman (@chrisweidman) March 3, 2019

@USMAN84kg gets a ton of hate on line but IMO the guy is likeable as hell and a hell of a fighter. Congrats on a dominant win!

— Chris Camozzi (@ChrisCamozzi) March 3, 2019

Congrats @USMAN84kg on your title and @TWooodley for being on the throne for so many days. Great fight! #UFC235

— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) March 3, 2019

Humble in victory and defeat @TWooodley #ufc235

— Tatiana Suarez (@TSPMMA115) March 3, 2019

Can anyone do anything good anymore without some goober having to label it or them “the best of all time?” It’s as if “time” re-starts itself every 8-10 years for convenience of hyperbole...

— Ryan Hall (@ryanhall5050) March 3, 2019

BULLSHIIIIIIIT!!

— Bec Rawlings (@RowdyBec) March 3, 2019

What a zombie mode attack from Askren crazy #UFC235

— Nordine Taleb (@TNT83MMA) March 3, 2019

Call it a NC, rematch ASAP #UFC235 #lawlervsaskren

— Louis Smolka (@LASTSAMURAIUFC) March 3, 2019

Brutally bad stoppage . That’s hurtful. #UFC235

— Sean O'Connell (@realOCsports) March 3, 2019

Fucking bullshit... @Ruthless_RL got robbed... what a fucking joke #UFC234 #ufc

— Nik Lentz (@NikLentz) March 3, 2019

Give a thumbs up rather than a limp arm!! #ufc235

— Alex Volkanovski (@alexvolkanovski) March 3, 2019

Rematch!!!

— Jarred Brooks (@The_monkeygod) March 3, 2019

Bad stoppage. #ufc235

— éS (@EricSpicely) March 3, 2019

What a shitty way to end a debut fight. Damn! #UFC235 #Funky

— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) March 3, 2019

COME ON HERB DEAN ‍♂️ ‍♂️ ‍♂️

— GILBERT BURNS DURINHO (@GilbertDurinho) March 3, 2019

Herb Nooooooo!!!!

— Sam Alvey (@smilensam) March 3, 2019

Ref made a big mistake #UFC235

— Rafael dos Anjos (@RdosAnjosMMA) March 3, 2019

Good job Herb. Way to fuck up another one. #terrible #UFC235

— Mike Pierce (@MikePierce170) March 3, 2019

Congrats @Benaskren gangster shit!

— Erik Jon Koch (@NEWBREED04) March 3, 2019

Y’all see how Robbie handled that? Take notes young bucks. Class. #UFC235

— Matt Schnell (@DANGER_Caged) March 3, 2019

Should be an immediate no contest in those situations. Run it back, please. @Benaskren @Ruthless_RL @ufc

— Lando Vannata (@GroovyLando) March 3, 2019

Robbie handled that really well. I think he dropped his arm because he didn't want to waste the energy there pulling Askrens head.

— Will Brooks (@ILLxWillBrooks) March 3, 2019

Crazy fight! @Benaskren @Ruthless_RL I can’t believe that fight!

— @CrisCyborg on IG #CyborgNation (@criscyborg) March 3, 2019

#ufc235 #lawleraskren pic.twitter.com/Gz33DG36ay

— Zachary Makovsky (@ZachFunSize) March 3, 2019

Can Lawler and askren just fight again? #ufc235

— Dan Ige (@Dynamitedan808) March 3, 2019

Wow funky get it done. Controversial or not he won

— Chito Vera (@chitoveraUFC) March 3, 2019

Why do you lift an arm and not let it drop!?! He lifted it and it went up and he stopped it!!!!

— Jimmy Smith (@jimmysmithmma) March 3, 2019

That stoppage genuinely put a damper on what has been a great night of fights. If he was out he’s body would’ve went limp not just his arm. He still only had one knee down.

Mind blownnn Lawler a class act but #ufc235

— Damien Brown (@beatdown155) March 3, 2019

Omg Zhang is so adorable #ufc235

— Katlyn Chookagian (@blondefighter) March 3, 2019

This Zhang is something serious ! #UFC235

— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) March 3, 2019

19 fight win streak Zhang girl!!!

— Tatiana Suarez (@TSPMMA115) March 3, 2019

WOW @PedroMunhozmma congrats! Got to share the octagon with that dude and he is a tough SOB. Well deserved win!

— Jimmie Rivera (@JimmieRivera135) March 3, 2019

Cody wanted an “easy” fight. Texting me about “easy money” and I told him to focus on Pedro bc he is a TUF mother funker! I’m so pumped right now! Not bc Cody lost, but bc of the division! It’s exciting AF right now! #UFC235 #ImREADY!!

— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) March 3, 2019

Congratulations @PedroMunhozmma super pumped for you! There's not a more deserving fighter! Always rooting for ya!!

— Bryan Caraway (@BryanCaraway) March 3, 2019

2 wows @PedroMunhozmma q performance #ufc235 !

— Raphael Assuncao (@RaphaAssuncao) March 3, 2019

People will never understand how easy it is to make one mistake in there. Human nature kicks in and you just start to fight fight and not smart fight. #UFC235

— Will Brooks (@ILLxWillBrooks) March 3, 2019

Wow! @Cody_Nolove @PedroMunhozmma I salute that! #respect

— John Moraga (@chicanojohn) March 3, 2019

That was the shit #UFC235 #munhozvsgarbrandt

— Louis Smolka (@LASTSAMURAIUFC) March 3, 2019

That calf kick was taking it's toll that's why Cody went for broke. That tool is like nothing we've seen in this sport. Trust me unfortunately I know

— James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) March 3, 2019

Wow!! Cody got careless and had no control but it was a crazy last minute of that fight!

— Alex Volkanovski (@alexvolkanovski) March 3, 2019

You either leave with your shield, or on it. Mad respect @Cody_Nolove still a fan #UFC235

— Joe Ellenberger (@JoeEllenberger) March 3, 2019

That was insane! Pedro can take a damn hit! 50/50 chance when you’re swinging like that. Gawwwwwdddd damn! #ufc235

— Tatiana Suarez (@TSPMMA115) March 3, 2019

Damn @Cody_Nolove just threw every emotion into those hands. Damn why he decided to stand and trade don’t know but very crazy and exciting 15secs

— Anton Zafir (@AntonZafirUFC) March 3, 2019

Pride overrides brain... #ufc235

— Zachary Makovsky (@ZachFunSize) March 3, 2019

Wow!! Not really sure what cody was thinking there! Rock’em sock’em robots there! #ufc235

— Stephen Thompson (@WonderboyMMA) March 3, 2019

So fucking hyped for Pedro! #ufc235

— éS (@EricSpicely) March 3, 2019

Dammit sometimes you gotta cool your head and reset..

— Bec Rawlings (@RowdyBec) March 3, 2019

Bad bad decision

— Chito Vera (@chitoveraUFC) March 3, 2019
