Twitter Accounts MMA Fans Need To Be Following

By Rod Bourgoine


Twitter is fast becoming a top source of news on the planet, and if you are one of the millions of people who are both an MMA fan and have a twitter account, you probably follow at least one or two fighters. While you probably can't and shouldn't follow everyone, here are a few people that are absolutely worthy of 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.

Joe Rogan is a unique guy, and his twitter feed contains plenty of great MMA information but also lots of other interesting tidbits. He's a huge proponent of legalizing marijuana and a bit of a conspiracy theorist going as far as to question whether the U.S. government faked the moon landing of Apollo 11. Rogan may be unique, but he is an expert when it comes to the MMA, so you'll pick up some solid insight from following his twitter feed.

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.
