They said what? Pros react to Barberena's upset and Shogun's split decision win

Bryan Barberena and Mauricio Rua scored a couple of decision wins at UFC 198. Pro fighters were surprised and apalled on Twitter.

Bryan Barberena scored yet another upset when he weathered the early storm to snatch an unanimous decision win over undefeated prospect Warlley Alves. Mauricio Rua took advantage of Corey Anderson's decision to strike to bring home a rather controversial split decision win in his hometown of Curitiba. Pros reacted to both outcomes on Twitter.
