Fighters connecting with their fans via Twitter is one of the newest and most popular ways to stay in touch with the MMA community, and former WEC champion Miguel Torres admits that he was hesitant at first, but now loves it like everyone else."I never wanted to be on Twitter and then Ecko, one of my main sponsors, they were like dude you've got to get on Twitter. They're like bro if you just tweet what you're talking about or tweet what you normally would say you'd have so many followers," Torres told MMAWeekly Radio recently.
"At first it was like a joke, and let's see what happens and I just got carried away with it."
A typical "tweet" from Torres could range from training to just his general thoughts on life. For UFC 110, Torres was in rare form Twittering gems like, "Bisping remembered the "Whoomp" but forgot the "there it is." That guillotine was as tight as Bispings a-- hole." and "When Chuck Norris goes to sleep, he wears Wanderlei Silva pajamas."
Always having fun, Torres says that the world is not getting a taste of what it's like to listen to whatever pops in his head.
"I tell you what my brain's pretty crazy and they got me on Twitter and let me put my thoughts on the screen so it's kind of nuts," Torres said.
The WEC's bantamweight star will also be handling guest Twitter duties for the UFC's Twitter page for UFC 112 in Abu Dhabi.
