UFC TWITTER RANKINGS
The other day I was looking for a list of UFC fighters with the most Twitter followers; however, the only lists I could find were at least two years old. So I decided to make my own list instead and, well, here it is. There are a few interesting things to notice: for example, Anderson Silva is still No.1 and by quite a distance. Also, after Rousey losing her title to Holly Holm, the only champion in the Top 10 is Jon Jones (#7)... and Conor McGregor (#8) if you are willing to count his interim belt.
Notes:
-Obviously all of the fighters on this list have a ton of "fake" followers. I didn't take that into account, I just looked at the total amount of followers displayed on their Twitter page.
-I included fighters who were still fighting in the UFC up until two years ago (namely Chael, Wanderlei and GSP), mainly because they have a lot of followers and I thought they deserved a mention.
-The list may be incomplete. If you find a UFC fighter who would break the top 20 and isn't on it, you can let me know it the comments.
-Obviously, the list is ever-changing.
So here it is. UFC Twitter rankings on 11/23/2015:
