UFC To Pay Its Fighters $240,000 To Tweet

While the NBA and the Football Association are fining their professionals for unprofessional tweets, the Ultimate Fighting Championship will be paying its fighters to tweet – $240,000 over the next year, to be exact.

UFC’s president, Dana White (@danawhite), is already a huge fan of Twitter himself. He has nearly 1.5 million followers, he tweets regularly, and he even takes the time to @reply his fans. And now he wants his fighters to embrace 140 character communication, too.
