Clark was met with an outpouring of love and support in her replies by fans and fellow mixed martial artists alike.

"This too shall pass."
"You’re a professional fighter and way better than any of these keyboard warriors. Hang your head up high. You’re bloody good"
"Life is evolution! You're getting ready for the ne t journey! Can't sew it now, but in a decade it will amaze you"

Fans also expressed relatability to Clark's current situation and offered kind words.

"Sounds like clinical depression. Tired, hungry, no joy from things that should make you happy. I’m all too familiar with this."

Many replies under Jessica-Rose Clark's tweet called for a change of setting for the former UFC fighter. However, it was her last UFC opponent, bantamweight Tainara Lisboa who went above and beyond in offering her support.

Lisboa may have struck the final nail in the coffin when she defeated Clark in May in her UFC debut, but kindly invited Clark over to her home in Brazil:

"It's okay, it's just a phase and it's part of life, I see that you travel a lot, the day you want come to Brazil, stay here at home [star-struck emoji] it will be an honor to have you here."

Jessica-Rose Clark even agreed to pay Tainara Lisboa a visit.

Fans offered various other solutions.

"You know what'll make you feel good? Winning your next fight."
