So a penalty for not tweeting. Sounds similar to Nick Diaz being punished for not agreeing to go on Blind Date in 06. I expect a lot of lame fake twitter fluff by fighters who normally would not concern themselves with such things.

This sounds really gay

Probably wont be as gay as u think. It may help fighters talk alittle more trash, or talk about how training is going, or just talk about nothing. Either way it may not be to bad.

I know Kennedy was a bit whiny after the Jacare fight, but how does he land amongst anyone's least favorite fighters list?

This sounds really gay

speaking of sounding a little gay, after this was put into practice, Lyoto Machida tweeted about getting ready to take a bath with his brother and son, no bullshit.

Tito Ortiz:

@FreakyFella no sick of being treated like s**t with no support. U get to read half the s**t I go though.

Lol coming from a hooker from the HBO show cathouse! Thats funny.
Shut up and sell your sn***h. RT @ExpensiveBlonde: Seriously!
@jennajameson Has been 100 percent faithful to @titoortiz ! Stop already
bitches!
@pink_cashmere she done nothing but stolded and tried to break us up. She can have jenna now
Not nuts just done with the lies and deceit. The hand I was holding was bring me down now a will let go.
Not whem my friend call and tell me. RT @Anghays: @schaefdaddy
@jennajameson @titoortiz @wardski21 tons of girls were wearing dresses
w/high heels. why u tryin' to make trub for this couple?
Ok im done talking about this s**t. I found some s**t out that happen
from a few friends. First time my bad ,second her bad ,third I should
of believe the first time. Will find someone who respects and supports
me. Life will go on! I will stay strong.

Thank god this day is
over. Sorry to my fans and friends for bring this on here. But im alone
and cant take the abuse and lies. Before every fight this shit happens.
No more! Im letting go and moving on. I will find support and respect
from someone. No longer bring negtive shit on here. Lets Go!
Jenna Jameson:

I am perfect, saying mean lies on twitter is wrong. I am a mother, and I love Tito and my children.
I love him, and he is angry. I stand behind him no matter how much he lashes out at me
I love @titoortiz and will fight for him forever. No matter what he sais
My children are my main priority, lies about fatherhood is yucky.
Just be a dad and stop partying and train...your fight is soon.
I love @titoortiz and I would never disrespect him with another man. I'm a good girl, and mommy!
I was in Vegas for 2 days with my gay make assistant. Tito is my man, so all you losers trying to be dumb, fuck you
Once again, I love my kids and they are my main priority. Talking smack on twitter seems insane when life is more important
I want the real @titoortiz back. He used to be loving, I get how a
lot of you think I'm garbage, but he's me babies daddy, and I love him

http://mmajunkie.com/news/25906/brazil-scores-big-in-ufcs-first-ever-twitter-bonuses-silva-nogueira-maia-each-net-10k.mma
With the UFC gaining rapid steam in the country and the promotion set
for a January return to the South American nation, Brazilian fighters
also scored big in the company's first-ever Twitter bonus awards.

UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva (@SpiderAnderson), former interim heavyweight champ Antonio Rodrgio Nogueira (@MinotauroMMA) and middleweight contender Demian Maia (@DemianMaia) each pocketed $10,000 for winning bonuses in two different categories.

The fighters each earned awards in the "most followers" and "biggest
percentage growth in followers" categories during the company's
first-ever quarterly contest, which included this past June, July and
August.

Strikeforce female champion Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos (@CrisCyborg) earned one award, netting $5,000 in the "most followers" category, while Paulo Thiago (@PauloThiagoMMA) rounded out the Brazilian sweep with a single award in the "biggest percentage growth in followers."

Additionally, non-Brazilian contenders Joseph Benavidez (@JoeB135), Forrest Griffin (@ForrestGriffin), Ben Henderson (@SmoothOne155) and Joe Lauzon (@JoeLauzon) each pocketed $5,000 for posting the "most creative Tweets" of the quarter.

Earlier this year, Zuffa officials rolled out the new bonus program to
all UFC and Strikeforce fighters. UFC president Dana White long has been
a supporter of the social-media movement and currently boasts nearly
1.7 million Twitter followers.

For the purpose of the UFC's Twitter bonuses, all UFC and Strikeforce
fighters are divided into four separate categories based on the number
of followers they have at the beginning of the scoring period. The
tiered system allows fighters such as Santos (13,000-plus followers) and
Maia (94,000-plus followers) to compete along side superstars such as
Siva (839,000-plus followers) and Nogueira (281,000-plus followers).

While Twitter is one of the hottest social-media platforms in the world,
White and the UFC's enthusiastic embrace of the technology has made it a
must-have for MMA fans. White and his fighters often interact directly
with fans on Twitter through personal messages, news updates and ticket
and product giveaways.
