Pay no attention to me, for I am a stupid cunt.
The gently caress is this?

Well, back when the State of the Pagoda thread was up one of the few things that PSP-MMA agreed on was that we should have our own version of the pictures and twitter thread. The amount of crossover between wrestling posters and MMA posters surprised me, but I'm all for segregating ourselves into our own little posting ghetto, so I figure we do a catch-all thread for anything related to fighters or MMA personalities that doesn't involve a specific b-league or the UFC.

What are good twitter accounts to follow?

@danawhite - Well this one should be obvious, it's Dana. This is where he bitches about fights he doesn't like, reacts to ones he does, or posts smilie faces every time something bad happens to Tito.

@arielhelwani - He might be a poo poo-stirring dweeb that's obsessed with beards and his dumb loving shoes but he's the most prominent MMA "journalist" and host of one of the best sources of MMA news in the MMA Hour.

@3amMMA - Some guy named Chris Nelson, probably the funniest MMA twitter person.

@ZProphet_MMA - If you've ever seen a MMA GIF, there's like a 90% chance that this guy made it. He does live GIFs of UFC, b-leagues, and other sports.

@tjmarciniak - Tomasz J. Marciniak, polish MMA journalist that broke the Bellator/Atilla Vegh story, also part of the English commentary for KSW and other Polish b-leagues.

@jordanbreen - Jordan Breen, pretty okay MMA journalism guy.

@sonnench - Chael P. Sonnen, he doesn't tweet a lot but when he does it's solid or poo poo is going down.

@WarMachine170 - Motherfucking War Machine, great follow if you like crazy people antics, felons, porn stars, and #AlphaMaleShit. Probably the funniest follow on MMA twitter but completely unintentionally.

@philbaroni - The New York Bad rear end, has an active twitter full of delusional ramblings about how he's going to beat up Ben Askren.

@dannyboydownes - Former WEC/UFC fight guy Danny Downes. Retired from fighting to make fighter picks/analysis and snarky comments about MMA.

@HypeOrDie - Pat HD Barry, might not be a fighter anymore but lots of heartwarming tweets of him with Thug Rose and their pooch.

@BellatorMMA - Bellator's twitter account, sometimes okay for news/retweets of news. Mostly shilling.

@Benaskren - The best non-UFC welterweight, tweets a lot about wrestling (The singlets and headgear kind) and occasionally has funny slapfights.

@jimmysmithmma - Half of the Bellator commentary team, pretty smart and knowledgeable dude.

@SchiavelloVOICE - Schiavello owns, most under rated commentator who still gets poo poo for some reason. Lots of reminiscing and hanging with b-league/old school people.

@AXSTVFights - The AXS.tv MMA twitter, upcoming fight news, schedules, links to fights and recaps from previous AXS.tv events.

@BasRuttenMMA - It's Bas. Sometimes dumb drunk stuff, sometimes rambling Dutch stuff, whole lot of that weird breathing mask shilling.

@GFKonMMA - Another comedy account, these are MMA fights brought to you by some guy pretending to be Ghostface Killah. Funny follow imo.

@NateDiaz209 - 209 bitch, it's Nate. Sometimes retires and tries to quit the UFC via twitter.

@kennyflorian - The man with the nicest hair in MMA.

@ufc - UFC twitter, retweets fighters and breaking news.

@DiegoSanchezUFC - Diego owns.

@joerogan - Curious about bitcoins, Bigfoot, or the insane ramblings of an aging burnout standup? Half of the UFC commentary team and all around funny dude, good follow but his twitter is mostly shilling his podcast.

@Cowboycerrone - Cowboy's twitter is mostly pictures of him drinking, pictures of him climbing stuff, and him retweeting dad-jokes.

@Alistairovereem - The Reem's twitter. Funny dude but mostly pictures of him lounging around on beaches.

@yay_yee - Josh Gross, formerly of ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Sherdog. Good MMA journalism guy but kind of behind whenever anything is actually going down.

@bisping - Thin-skinned Brit turd who whines a lot but also gets under people's skin so is kind of funny by accident.

@BloodyElbow - Good for news, Bloody Elbow's twitter account.

@TheDomin8r - a loving fraud that periodically posts pictures of himself training as part of an elaborate scheme to convince people he'll fight again

@InvictaFights - If you like your fights with tits & cooters instead of man-tits and tiny balls, Invicta's twitter announces the major going ons of the premiere wmma b-league.

@vitorbelfort - Vitor's twitter. Lots of jesus love and pictures of himself loving Jesus with his family, his bad haircuts, and him training.

@mayhemmiller - Mayhem Miller. Now that he's not going around screaming the n-word at Uriah Hall and is back on his meds, it's mostly just him posting random poo poo and occasional interviews.

@RondaRousey - Mainly posts pictures of herself hanging out with people but if that's your thing and you really like seeing LayzieTheSavage (who the gently caress is this guy??)

@GLORY_WS - Glory Kickboxing's twitter account. Get hyped for kicks and punches without any of that laying around on top of each other poo poo.

@guicruzzz - Guilherme Cruz, Brazilian mma journalist. Speaks portugese, reports on anything to do with your favorite toxoplasmosis infected fightmen

@benfowlkesMMA - Ben Fowlkes, MMA journalist guy for USA Today and MMA Junkie. Scoops and news.

@UrijahFaber - Urijah. Hope you like butt-chins, topless twinks and TAM shilling.

@JonnyBones - UFC LHW Champion. Massive herb. Neat pictures though.

@InsideMMAaxstv - Twitter of the best actual televised MMA news show, Inside MMA. UFC and b-league news all on the same show.

@FrontRowBrian - "Controversial" mma journalism/news guy. When he reports something, he's either getting a scoop weeks before any one else does, reporting on his friends (Chael Sonnen mostly), or making poo poo up based on twitter/UG rumors. His track record lately has been pretty loving good though.

@JoshLBarnett - Barnett's twitter. If you have any Magic the Gathering, death metal, or anime questions that you wanna ask a former UFC heavyweight champion, this is the twitter for you.

@UFCNews - UFC's news twitter. Fight announcements, breaking news, that kind of poo poo.

@feliceherrig - Felice Herrig, one of the UFC's new lady straw weights. Posts lots of pictures of herself in various states of undress. It's sleazy but really who gives a poo poo?

@Renato_Laranja - Every one's favorite fake BJJ guy.

@brentbrookhouse - Managing Editor of Bloody Elbow

@jeremybotter - Lead writer for Bleacher Report

@TheNotoriousMMA - Mick Diaz

@NotoriousNewell - WSOF's one armed surprisingly not a gimmick fighter. Posts a lot about tv shows and his cats. Really, really likes his cats.

@davemeltzerWON - Dave Meltzer of the Observer, while his MMA news coverage is poo poo compared to his wrestling stuff, he still generally has a few things like buyrates and that kind of poo poo.

@BR_MMA - Bleacher Report's main twitter.

@JackSlackMMA - Jack Slack, the guy who does the MMA breakdowns/striking analysis/technique talk on Bleacher Report.

@rosenamajunas - The other half of MMA's most adorable couple that isn't Cowboy/Leonard and UFC straw weight.

@MattSerraUFC - Everyone's favorite fat guy, mostly tweets about wanting to fight Matt Hughes again.

@TeamKhabib - Khabib, mostly tweets pictures of Dagestan and broken English call outs to the Diaz bros.

@brucebuffer - It's TIME to hear Bruce Buffer shill his books and talk about stuff.

@TitanFighting - Main twitter of B-league promotion on CBS Sports, Titan FC. Home of Matt Riddle, the greatest cut fighter in the UFC.

@cripplerufc - Leben's twitter where he occasionally gets drunk/depressed and whines.

@Anthony_Rumble - Fat Rumble.

@AlCaponeMMA - Nikita Krylov. He doesn't tweet much but I feel he should be included in any list.

@MMAWorldSeries - WSOF's twitter.

@Seanbabydotcom - Internet funny guy Sean Baby, somewhat related to MMA because he writes pretty funny/good MMA articles every one in a while.

@markhunt1974 - Mark Hunt might not really "get" twitter but bless his heart he tries.

@DonFryeFighter - The loving Predator who now does great prediction vids.

@FOXSports - Fox Sports' twitter that occasionally announces breaking news when Dana shows up on some show to talk about something

@JColossus - Willie Dee's man-love and pro-gypsy fighter.


Holy poo poo that was a lot of words, what about my twitter?

There's a sizeable goon presence on twitter when it comes to MMA posters. We might not have scoops, but we do have snarky commentary and puns.

@LegkickTKO - LobsterMobster, funny person who posts about MMA and wrasslin'. Most legit MMA Journalist with her piece on fighter dogs
http://www.uproxx.com/sports/2014/01/fighter-dogs-power-rankings/

@ihateprospects - jeffersonlives, this guy knows more than you about everything relating to half-naked men rolling around with each other.

@lmntbldustman - Individual865 from the b-league thread. If there's two people fighting in front of a camera anywhere, any time, he'll know about it.

@PossiblyDavid - It's loving Atom's twitter.

@DCDry - BeanFried's twitter. I guess if you have a question about someone fighting with a vagina and you wanna read hundreds of words about it, this is your go-to guy.

@jaaaape - Jape from #mma/#wh2k, forums poster "yea ok" formerly known as Shaman of Cum. NJPW guy.

@hehu42 - Hehu from #mma/#wh2k, forums poster Golden Oldies Pete and host of the Allah World Simulator.

@coconono - Coconono from psp-tv and the forums. Butts, b-leagues, and bush league wrestling.

@baaronbrock - Mr. Nice. Ever wanna call a guy pillow-fisted? Get your back up here

@wheatretard - Duncan, funny dude, sometimes tweets about mma

@swarthyvillain - I don't know which goon this is but he tweets real good

@intelSEBASTIAN - funny poster intel&sebastian

@fatherdog - Self explanatory

@Ymazyar - Me, b-league poster guy


What else goes in this thread?

Seen an article that encompasses more than one mma league? How about a funny one like Lobster's dogs article? That'd go here.

Seen a cool picture of a slowed down KO or punch or something? That goes here.

Seen two old MMA dudes hanging out or doing a podcast? Here.

Seen a Youtube of Phil Baroni drinking snake blood? Right here.

What other MMA poo poo is out there?

Joe Rogan's podcast: Hosted by the actual voice of MMA, often has fighters as people he interviews. Neat to see Chael talk about D.B Cooper or Enson Inoue tell stories about the yakuza.

The MMA Hour - Hosted by Ariel Helwani, this is one of the best sources of MMA news and on going news but you have to be able to stomach Ariel for like 3 hours.

Inside MMA - Friday nights on AXS.tv, Ron Krucke and Bas Rutten talking about that week's MMA news. Covers the UFC and every b-league.

What now?

Well, this is a work in progress to some extent. If you can think of some one to add to the MMA twitter list, post it here.

If you wanna be added to the goon twitter list just list it here.

Any good MMA podcasts or radio shows you wanna plug? Post 'em and I'll add it to the OP.

Thank you, Toronto!
@MMASun is a really decent follow too. He actually has tidbits a couple of weeks before they break (i.e. Frankie vs BJ TUF finale being the Sunday that makes up International Fight Week), TUF casts, seems to have the inside track on when guys get signed by the UFC well before it's announced on a bigger scale.

Dude on Rustam Khabilov's Facebook posted:

"The Hawk, the Tiger, and their mighty crew,
They plan, test and break - those who dare to rake their courageously hard earned champion's belts and goods,
Messing opponent's faces, full of crispy clear bloodlusted blazes - alike a million tasers, coming at thee - tearing apart thru their precious mazes,

There is no escape from this crew of the too cruel and too cool,
For they come from the land where only the roughest, toughest, and noblest rule,
Dagestan's pride and might - UFC shall drool!
For the Tiger is on his way to his proper kingdom with his noble and gentle sway,
And the swift and agile Hawk is on his way,
For crossing over are his thought's days,
And whooping the present glorious are his thoughts even when in his boxing frays"
