A really uneven day/morning/night of fights comes to a close in Glasgow, with Michael Bisping showing just enough gas in the tank to take a win of Thales Leites. Joseph Duffy showed up with an impressive sub of Ivan Jorge and Steven Ray and Ilir Latifi blasted the bejesus out of their respective opponents. The Undercard was full of finishes, the main card decisions, and the whole thing commercials.
So, what did the UFC’s own talent have to say about the fights as they watched from the sidelines? Here’s all the best, worst and most public fighter reactions from Twitter:
Watching the fights at the firehouse today. Early fights are nice when I’m here!

How can you boo that!?! He always broke Ross’s arm in half and dominated!!! #UFCGlasgow

Traditionally, Bisping only loses to the champs and super-freaks, but thinking Leites pulls the upset. #UFCGlasgow

Really, Goldie? I thought we all agreed not to ever mention the Silva/Leites fight ever again. #UFCGlasgow
— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) July 18, 2015
Thales lost the 1st rd next rd he needs to show takedown level change to put bisping on the defensive. It will open up his striking as well
— Rashad Evans (@SugaRashadEvans) July 18, 2015
So, how much longer until Bisping gets dropped then comes back and outpoints Leites for the rest of the fight? #UFCGlasgow
— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) July 18, 2015
Bisping has to keep his back in the center of the cage. Get off the blackline..
— Rashad Evans (@SugaRashadEvans) July 18, 2015
2-2? Sure why not
— Stipe Miocic (@stipemiocicufc) July 18, 2015
