Professional athletes – UFC fighters included – are no strangers to harassment via social media. That easier accessibility has seemingly given trolls the power to say absolutely anything while hiding behind the comfort and security of the barriers of the internet.
One seemingly disgruntled fan made it a point to aggressively get his sentiments across to UFC middleweight Julian Marquez. The 32-year-old fighter lost via first-round knockout to Gregory Rodrigues at UFC Austin over the weekend, and to add insult to injury, he had to face this kind of harassment.
Marquez shared a screenshot of the individual’s messages via Twitter (H/T MMA Mania).
