The UFC announced via twitter its second set of quarterly twitter bonuses. Each fighter received $5,000 for their use of twitter.
Most Followers: Junior dos Santos (@Junior_Cigano), Anderson Silva (@SpiderAnderson), Brendan Schaub (@BrendanSchaub) and Cung Le (@CungLe185).
Biggest Percentage of Growth: Jake Ellenberger (@EllenbergerMMA,) Cung Le, Roy Nelson (@RoyNelsonMMA) and Rodrigo Nogueira (@MinotauroMMA)
Most Creative: Tim Kennedy (@TimKennedyMMA), Pat Barry (@HypeOrDie), Joseph Benavidez (@JoeB135) and Duane Ludwig (@DuaneBangCom)
Specifically, Pat Barry won most creative for his video with former opponent Mirko Cro Cop. I’ll let the video explain:
Payout Perspective:
Interesting that Cung Le won in two categories and its not known whether he’ll be back in the UFC. You may recall that Le garnered a $350,000 base for his loss to Wanderlei Silva at UFC 139. The wins in most followers and biggest growth for this quarter shows that Le is still a commodity in the UFC. Le tweeted that he would use some of the money toward prizes for his followers for upcoming UFC and Strikeforce fights.
