If you don’t have a twitter account, then quit reading and return to 1997. For everyone else, twitter offers an easy way to keep up to date with everything going on within MMA as well as a source of MMA-related entertainment. There are dozens of fighters, sports writers, commentators to follow, but here are a few twitters that are definitely worth following.
Love him or hate him, Dana White is definitely someone you should follow. After all, he is the head of UFC and not only does he often offer up breaking news about UFC, he’s entertaining. He’s been part of several notorious twitter feuds, including a recent profanity-laced exchange between himself and Ken Shamrock. At any rate, he’s never afraid to say what he thinks.
We all know Joe Rogan from his color commentary at MMA fights, and his vast knowledge about the sport makes him worth following. He also is a great stand-up comedian so his posts are often funny. He also likes to tweet about how much he loves marijuana and other enthogenic drugs, and he is a strong supporter of legalizing cannabis. He also has said that he is suspicious about the authenticity of the moon landings and believes in a few interesting conspiracy theories.
While Dana White and Joe Rogan might have their quirks, they provide plenty of substantial information about mixed martial arts. Chael Sonnen, on the other hand, while he is certainly a seasoned veteran of the sport, tends to tweet about MMA in a less informative manner. Generally, he tweets about why he dislikes Wanderlei Silva, lately in the form of poetry. Actually, he has no problem insulting anyone in the world of MMA or anyone who lives in Brazil. This is why following him is entertaining and why Dana White picked him and Wanderlei Silva to coach the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter.
There are plenty of other great fighters to think about following. MMA greats such as BJ Penn offer tons of great information and commentary, and Penn has a great website, as well. His social media team is highly knowledgeable and he’s always posting something interesting. Tito Ortiz is another guy who posts all sorts of interesting tweets about his daily life, including training and family stuff.
There are some great MMA sports reporters worth following. Loretta Hunt has been writing about MMA for more than 10 years, and her twitter feed is filled with great updates. You can count on her for great insights as well. Ariel Helwani is another sports journalist definitely worth following. He also offers links to his highly entertaining interviews with MMA fighters.
