Around SBN: Where Do The Lakers Go From Here?

Who are the most popular UFC fighters on Twitter? A visual guide.

 

Who are the most popular UFC fighters on Twitter based on number of followers?   Below is a chart containing the top 10.  With the exception of Chuck (who is now VP of Biz Dev or whatever), all of these fighters are currently active.   For fun, I also included the number of "Friends" the fighter is following.  Because of space limitations, seeing the number of friends isn't always easy unless they have a lot.  I was on the fence about whether or not to even include friend counts, but I figured what the hell.  Might as well.

A larger, more interactive version of this chart which includes hard numbers for all 196 fighters can be viewed on the MMA Pop! blog, where I will be covering social media trends in MMA and the UFC with all kinds of graphs and charts and other fun stuff. 

And if you weren't aware of my UFC Bar Guide, check that out too if you're looking for a spot in your neighborhood to catch UFC 126.

tito ortiz is 4th most? must be they want info on his porn wife jenna jameson.

On february 5th 2011 at UFC 126 Jon "Bones" Jones will show the world that their was no need for the MMA community to hype this man because this guy is a beast with many skills and i personally will feel Ryan "Darth" Bader's pain after this fight. SB Nation's public enemy #1.

I don't understand the Tito love.

He’s just so……..ugh.
I’ll be there live to see his UFC run come to an end (we’ve said that before) in Seattle to ’lil Nog.

Learn JiuJitsu, it's fun.

Honestly,

before I really got into MMA, I knew who Tito was. That was it. Tito is a face, he is recognizable, he’s a personality. Good or bad, people know who he is.
