Who are the most popular UFC fighters on Twitter? A visual guide.

Who are the most popular UFC fighters on Twitter based on number of followers?   Below is a chart containing the top 10.  With the exception of Chuck (who is now VP of Biz Dev or whatever), all of these fighters are currently active.   For fun, I also included the number of "Friends" the fighter is following.  Because of space limitations, seeing the number of friends isn't always easy unless they have a lot.  I was on the fence about whether or not to even include friend counts, but I figured what the hell.  Might as well.

A larger, more interactive version of this chart which includes hard numbers for all 196 fighters can be viewed on the MMA Pop! blog, where I will be covering social media trends in MMA and the UFC with all kinds of graphs and charts and other fun stuff. 

And if you weren't aware of my UFC Bar Guide, check that out too if you're looking for a spot in your neighborhood to catch UFC 126.
