Best MMA Instagram, Twitter Accounts and Youtube Channels
Posted on 22 April, 2022
These are the various youtube channels, instagram accounts, and twitter accounts that I've consumed content from or are very popular in the combat sports world.
Fighters to Follow
Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson
A fun wholesome channel by the best Karate MMA fighter in the UFC and his brother. They cover upcoming fights, insights into the training and preparation. On Tuesdays, he uploads short tutorials on striking technique.
Israel Adesanya
A polarizing personality with undeniably great striking skills. The current Middleweight champion in the UFC. His youtube channel is run by his entertaining brother and showcases Izzy breaking down upcoming fights and watching them with his friends. The best moments are seeing his reaction to his friends' fights.
Paulo Costa
A high ranking middle-weight fighter from Brazil. His twitter page is bizarre and hilarious. Be warned: many of his tweets are a bit suspect. Maybe too much wine?
Analyst
Jack Slack - Filthy Casual Series
Probably my favorite Youtube series in MMA. Breaksdown the best elements of top fighters' games in a comprehensive manner. More for fans who already know the names of techniques. Here's a list of the common strikes if you want a refresher. He'll take down videos frequently (probably to avoid copyright strikes), so if you see him post something watch it right away.
Full Reptile
Great channel to see clips of fighters before their fight, along with analysis of their strengths and shortcomings. Also includes a lot of stats for fans. Run by an ex-UFC fighter, Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy.
