The 6 Best Tweeters in MMA

Twitter has become big in the world of sports, and especially so in MMA. With the implement of "Twitter bonuses" from the UFC brass, Twitter has become very important to fighters.

Fighters use humor and trash talk in their tweets, often leading to comedy gold.

Some honorable mentions I will put down for the sake that there are so many good tweets are:

Joseph Benavidez (@JoeJitsu)

Jason "Mayhem" Miller (@mayhemmiller)

Chael Sonnen (@chsonnen), although I am not completely sure if that is real

Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian)

Ronda Rousey (@RondaRousey)

Dana White

The boss of the UFC is one of the best tweeters in MMA. It may not be due to creativity, but it is definitely due to his blunt and honest reactions.

White is constantly grilled by fans, for which he usually provides a somewhat offensive, always entertaining response. He also tweets after most of the fights, voicing his utmost opinion on how it went.

Forrest Griffin

Forrest Griffin's in-cage abilities may have slowed these days, but he is a very active Twitter user.

Griffin is creative and humorous with his tweets, despite the trouble he got in for his tweet which mentioned rape (for which he apologized and donated his Twitter bonus to charity). You can always count on Griffin to use self-humiliating humor for a laugh on Twitter.

"The fact that they don't make nyquil in the one-gallon size disgusts me to no end !"

Just one example of an interesting tweet from Griffin.

Pat Barry

Pat Barry is always known for his humor, and his Twitter account definitely displays that.

Whether it is him dancing in his underwear or posting an embarrassing video of Mirko Cro Cop and himself singing a song in a car, Barry is definitely one of the best tweeters.

Plus the fact that he often writes in all capital letters to irritate people is entertaining as well.

Felice Herrig

You talk about a person who is constantly tweeting, Felice Herrig usually comes to mind.

Her goofy personality, in combination with her "booty contests" with other tweeters and hilarious back-and-forths with other fighters make here a very entertaining person on Twitter.

She may be the queen of Twitter.

Derek Brunson

Derek Brunson is another avid Twitter user, who does have some very entertaining tweets.

Whether he is firing off tweets on trending topics (ex: #BlackPeopleYouTubeSearches white people dancing) or taking the time to answer fans, Brunson is one of the best people to follow on Twitter.

And, seeing as I just lost a Twitter bet with him, please follow him to help fulfill my bet with him (200 followers).

Miguel Torres

Very similar to Forrest Griffin in terms of tweeting, as they are both extremely funny and both have gotten in trouble for tweeting something about rape (eventually he also apologized and made a donation).

Just by looking at Torres's profile picture, you know right away he will be an awesome tweeter. Take for instance, "Why lift weights when you can guillotine them."

Confusing, yet very funny. Torres is definitely worth the follow.
