The MMA community celebrates Father’s Day
Yesterday was fathers day, and many members of the MMA community took to social media to show how they were celebrating. Some were being honored by their children. Others, meanwhile, shared heartfelt messages to their own fathers and adoptive father figures. Others still memorialized fathers who have passed away. Our namesake BJ Penn even got some unexpected love from one UFC featherweight fighter!
Here are some of the best Father’s Day posts from the stars of the MMA world, including Daniel Cormier, Renzo Gracie, Gina Carano, Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza, Paige VanZant, Michael Bisping and Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson.
Happy Father’s Day to my pops, I know things are tough right now pop but as you’ve shown me my whole life things will be ok. Thanks for showing me how to be a strong, hardworking, loving father to my wife and kids. Thanks pop. Happy Father’s Day Mr. P. We all love you. pic.twitter.com/PIvMEJun1m
