The UFC post-show for UFC Fight Island 8 has gone off the rails — this and much more on Thursday's social media roundup.
UFC post-show goes off the rails
After another great night of fights at UFC Fight Island 8, the post-show was bound to feature some great insight and analysis as well as highlights. However, we got something quite different. The guys on the desk, Daniel Cormier, Jon Anik, and Paul Felder were all looking pretty fatigued after another long night of work. This gave the last few minutes of the post-show some unique and very funny moments. Check out some of the best of the post-show down below.

Patricio Freire goes off on Max Holloway yet again
Current Bellator featherweight champion Patricio Freire has once again discredited Max Holloway's stunning performance against Calvin Kattar at UFC Fight Island 7.
447 connected strikes in a fight might be nice and all, but I rather just knock people out, really. Even if I didn't, they can't take that many of my punches anyway-- pic.twitter.com/pAEExpy8xA

This changes nothing for @CalvinKattar . He's still a top contender. I'm still a fan. And he's still from Boston so he will be back even better. Looking forward to Kattar 2.0 https://t.co/SD7eYqrlrF
