MMA Sweet Tweets V.5: Hot Babes, Ass-Kicking Fighters, and More

My new fictional wife, Arianny Celeste, dreaming about me on the beach.

When UFC Octagon girl Arianny Celeste graces the cover of Playboy in November 2010, she will do so as the fictional wife of the most charismatic MMA columnist in the history of the sport’s coverage.

And since Ariel Helwani and Ben Fowlkes weren’t available, that honor is bestowed upon yours truly.

Kenda Perez and I had some good times as a fictional married couple, but when she started threatening to soccer kick my pet hippo Pride FC-style, I knew things wouldn’t work out in the long run.

From what I hear, Miss Celeste is a hippo lover, so it is a match made in heaven.

My hippo brings all the girls to the yard and they’re like…um, I am getting off-topic here. That is what 10 cups of coffee will do to you on a Friday afternoon.

Anyway, welcome to the fifth installment of MMA Sweet Tweets here on Bleacher Report. You know the drill by now, every Friday I compile a list of some of the coolest MMA personalities to follow on Twitter.

Who will I mention this week?

But first, make sure to follow my fictional wife @AriannyCeleste and be sure to send her tweets about how her new fictional husband, Mitch Ciccarelli, totally reeks of awesomeness.

Chandella Powell

Chandella Powell, such a beautiful name for such a beautiful woman.

Powell was hired as a UFC Octagon girl around December 2009 replacing Logan Stanton and Natasha Wicks. Fans hated to see Stanton and Wicks leave, but loved watching them go, if you catch my drift.

However, it didn’t take long for the UFC fanbase to fall in love with the gorgeous Chandella. Her bright personality and supermodel physique make her one of the most beloved Octagon girls in UFC history.

Brendan Schaub

Despite coming up short against Roy Nelson at the TUF 10 Finale, Brendan Schaub has established himself as one of the most dangerous up-and-comers in the UFC’s heavyweight division.

With back-to-back knockout victories over Chase Gormley and Chris Tuchscherer, Schaub will meet divisional gatekeeper Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 121.

Follow Schaub on Twitter, because if you don’t, he will show up at your house looking to hand out lollipops and ass beatings. The man can eat a ton of lollipops, so by the time he gets to your front door, the bag will be empty.  

Keep that in mind.

@BrendanSchaub

Recent sweet tweet: “Feel like I just got done with the conditioning test at CU thanks to Lorens new treadmill workout..not feeling to hot lol”

Laura Celeste

Not to be confused with my new fictional wife Arianny, Laura Celeste adds more proof to the pudding (mmm, I like pudding) that New York is home to some of the most beautiful women on the face of the Earth.

Miss Laura is a huge sports fan with a passion for mixed martial arts. This blond bombshell is both a model and an MMA ring girl.

Note to Laura, if things don’t work out between Arianny and I, I’m giving you a call.

@LauraCeleste

Recent sweet tweet: "Someone hit my car @ the dealership. Seriously really?"

Mauricio "Shogun" Rua

Unless you speak Portuguese, you probably won’t be able to understand half of “Shogun” Rua’s tweets.

With that being said, why wouldn’t you want to follow the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion and arguably the greatest 205-pound fighter who has ever walked the face of the Earth?

If need be, just hire a translator to interpret Rua’s tweets. Wait, hold on…I am receiving word that a function by the name of “Google translate” will allow you to do that for free.

Holy technology, Batman, what can’t you do on the internet these days?

@ShogunRua

Recent sweet tweet: "@feliperayol Mas nao vou lutar, vou só prestigiar! abraços"

Mike Dolce (The Dolce Diet)

Top-level MMA fighters are quickly realizing that when it comes to combat nutrition, there is no better diet than The Dolce Diet.

Dolce, a professional fighter and member of "The Ultimate Fighter" during season seven has taken dieting to a whole new level.

Follow Dolce on Twitter to learn more about how to live a healthier lifestyle.

Ironically, I am pigging out on chips as I’m typing this, but don’t tell Dolce because he will hunt me down and shove a grapefruit down my throat.

That came out wrong…this is awkward.

@TheDolceDiet

Recent sweet tweet: "Blueberries are mans best friend...unless man in question enjoys waking up 10x's per night to kinda pee & a team of dr's fingers up his bum!"

Jake Shields

On October 23, Jake Shields will make his UFC debut against top contender Martin Kampmann at UFC 121.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few years (if so, I can only imagine how uncomfortable that must be), you know that Shields is arguably one of the greatest fighters pound for pound in the world today.

He’s also a very cool guy who enjoys taking time out of his busy schedule to chat with fans on Twitter.

@JakeShieldsAJJ

Recent sweet tweet: "Yesterday the UFC Countdown show filmed my training and @StatusFitness mag. interview at gym and Russian MMA site by phone. Today Slovenia."

Maggie Hendricks

Yahoo Cage Writer’s Maggie Hendricks is quickly becoming a living legend in the sport of mixed martial arts. Not only is she an extremely talented journalist, but the word on the street is that she has the cooking ability of 50 world-class chefs.

And yes, King Mo, I used the term “world-class” so please feel free to attack me on Twitter about how Hendricks hasn’t competed at the world-class level in culinary competition.

My only regret about not being able to cover UFC 119 live is the fact that I won’t be able to stuff my face with Hendrick’s delicious cookies.

I’m a fat kid at heart, don’t judge me!

@MaggieHendricks

Recent sweet tweet: "Cage Writer's latest Watch Joe Warren KO Joe Soto for Bellator featherweight title http://yhoo.it/8Zl25Z"

The Stoll Sisters

Kaila Marie and Kacie Stoll aka The Stoll Sisters are the epitome of the term “uberlymegaawesome.” Yes that is a real word, look it up.

The Stoll Sisters have more passion for MMA in their pinky fingers than most do in their entire body.

Kacie Stoll is the assistant content director over at MMA Die Hards and her younger sister Kaila is a booker for various MMA radio shows.

If you aren’t familiar with these ladies now, you will be in the near future.

@KailaKillaMarie

Recent sweet tweet: "If you're driving on back roads please use your brights &drive slow. Believe it or not there ARE still some deer trying to keep their lives."

@Kacie_087

Recent sweet tweet: "@KAILAKILLAMARIE Eww....... Kat Von D & Jesse James are "in love" now. Wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole! Lol"

Ryan Bader

Follow Ryan “Darth” Bader as he prepares for his co-main event bout with Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at UFC 119 and he will teach you the ways of the dark side.

Believe it or not, Bader wasn’t always the Darth that he is today. Long before competing in MMA, a young teenage Bader was just simply “The Master.”

Like most youngsters, Bader turned over to the dark side and hasn’t looked back since.

He has now reached pimp status in the MMA community and is a few fights away from wearing the gold…the UFC light heavyweight title, of course.

@RyanBader

Recent sweet tweet: "Just got killed at the training room. Sparring at 2 pm. Two more practices this week."

Lyndsay Marie

Lindsay Marie is a fascinating young lady with a very unique sense of humor. She is also a huge MMA fan and a very cool girl, so it makes sense to add her on this list.

If you want to read some entertaining tweets, Lindsay is your girl. Her tweets are so utterly awesome that they have been re-tweeted by the likes of Joe Rogan and other popular MMA stars.

Her tweet tweets bring all the boys to the yard and they’re like…jeez, what the heck is with me and this song? I obviously have issues beyond my control.

Anyway, I’m happy to have gotten the chance to know Lindsay lately, and you will too, if you follow her.

@lindssmarie

Recent sweet tweet: "I hope @danawhite doesn't mind that he's my twitter background. I just can't resist a handsome man in a Red Sox shirt"

Shawn Tompkins

Shawn Tompkins could probably teach standup techniques to a mentally challenged orangutan that is addicted to meth. Without a doubt, Tompkins is one of the best striking coaches in MMA today.

He has been instrumental in the careers of top fighters such as Sam Stout, Evan Dunham, Chris Horodecki, and others.

Tompkins could probably coach someone on tweets alone. So the next time you get into a drunken bar fight, tweet Tompkins for instructions on how to set up that perfect combination.

Better yet, stop getting into drunken bar fights altogether, you crazy drunk.

@ShawnTompkins

Recent sweet tweet: "Texas De Brasil with the wife for dinner. Gonna hit the strip tonight, having some tourist fun.. Daquiries here we come....."

Jesus Martinez (Punch First)

Jesus Martinez is a very intelligent MMA aficionado and is in the process of creating his own MMA website, Punch First.

If you’re looking to have an in-depth discussion about the sport on Twitter, Martinez is one of the best.

If the Punch First Nation becomes a huge empire in mixed martial arts someday, do not be surprised.

@PunchFirst

Recent sweet tweet: "Big statement! RT @MMAMcKinney: How does Joe Warren stack up? I say he has the style to beat Aldo!"

Nikki Cantell

A ring girl, Playboy promo model, Maxim Hometown Hottie, and Spike TV host…Nikki Cantell is a modern-day Wonder Woman. In fact, if you put the original Wonder Woman in the Octagon with Nikki, I am pretty sure this MMA bombshell would put her lights out.

I am also fairly certain that Cantell would look better in Wonder Woman’s tights, but that’s beside the point.

Cantell is the host of "The Rear Naked Choke Show" on SpikeTV.com alongside TapUOut. The show focuses on everything that’s new and hot in the world of mixed martial arts.

Follow her on Twitter and also be sure to check out the latest episode of "The Rear Naked Choke Show."

@NikkiCantell

Recent sweet tweet: "Good luck, I hated waldo! Who's he hiding from anyway? @mitchciccarelli Now we just have to find Waldo =p"

John Morgan

In the world of MMA journalism, John Morgan is God. As a lead staff reporter for MMA Junkie, Morgan is constantly providing readers with insightful articles and breaking news scoops.

In 2009, Morgan’s hard work led him to the title of “MMA Journalist of the Year” in Fighters Only magazine’s World MMA Awards.

I may have inadvertently ruined Facebook for Morgan by claiming that Ariel Helwani should get the award this year, but he’s still active on Twitter.

If you want to follow one of the premier journalists in our sport, Morgan is your man.

@MMAJunkieJohn

Recent sweet tweet: "Damn you @GrayMaynard, @DaveFarra and @MahoneySucks. What part of 'beer for breakfast' doesn't sound like it should involve me?"

Jedi Master Mitch Ciccarelli

Mitch Ciccarelli is the sexiest MMA columnist on the face of the Earth. His articles drive women crazy and make men extremely jealous. Mitch is a contributor to both HeavyMMA.com and Bleacher Report.

He is also a future United States Airman. Follow Mitch on Twitter if you’re looking to read some interesting tweets about MMA, oompa loompas, pancakes, and flying elephants.
