Last weekend, on the undercard of UFC 218, strawweight veteran Angela Magana came up short against rising contender Amanda Bobby Cooper. In the wake of this loss, Magana took to Twitter to trash any “haters” who criticize her, or any of UFC 218’s other defeated fighters.
See Magana’s undeniably compelling points below:
There are no losers in #MMA at this level.Can you really call Oliviera a loser cuz he tapped to strikes? Whoever gets hit with an elbow like that is smart to tap out. What if you got caught like Overeem call him whatever but you gotta have balls to get in there like that #ufc218

Also Gaethje a loser? Or look at Jose I had joy when seeing his beautiful slipping, headwork, pivots, boxing and that familiar legkick. Max is a killer and smelled that blood making him even hungrier. You can look at any match up and no way was there a loser. #ufc218

“Also [Justin] Gaethje a loser? Or look at Jose [Aldo]. I had joy when seeing his beautiful slipping, headwork, pivots, boxing and that familiar leg kick. Max is a killer and smelled that blood making him even hungrier. You can look at any match up and no way was there a loser.”
