UFC 196: Athletes, Celebs React On Twitter To Nate Diaz, Miesha Tate Upsets

UFC 196 was one of the best pay-per-views in the sport’s history.

Miesha Tate upset Holly Holm to win the women’s bantamweight title, which would have been stunning by itself, but the final fight provided an immense shock.

Nate Diaz, a heavy underdog, shocked the world by defeating the over-confident Conor McGregor in a welterweight bout.

As you might expect, a legion of athletes and celebrities reacted to the surprising results on Twitter.

That includes a long list of NFL players. Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was among them, and he won’t need any convincing when the next UFC pay-per-view is on sale.
