MMA world reacts on Twitter to death of bin Laden

Twitter is essentially where the news of Osama bin Laden's death broke. It's also where many Americans and folks around the world reacted. The immediacy of Twitter is amazing, but can also be dangerous.

HDNet broadcaster Michael Schiavello said he'd have to retire one of his "time proven" catch-phrases.
