5 UFC fighters with the funniest social media presence
There's more to being a UFC fighter than performing well inside the octagon. While amassing a considerable win streak in the octagon will certainly earn fighters opportunities, the UFC brass gives importance to the entertainment aspect of MMA.
Often times, this manifests in the form of trash talk as fighters attempt to drum up interest in their bouts. Colby Covington and Conor McGregor are prime examples of how to win over fight fans by using vitriolic amounts of trash talk.
Covington, however, leans more towards playing a fictional version of himself, whereas 'The Notorious' seems far closer to home.
Regardless, other fighters opt for a different path when trying to endear themselves to UFC fans. These fighters rely on comedy in its many forms, whether by filming videos of themselves performing skits or by posting hilarious memes.
In honor of Paulo Costa's bizarre win over Luke Rockhold at UFC 278, this list looks at 5 UFC fighters with the funniest presence on social media.
#5. Jamahal Hill
Many fans know Jamahal Hill for his seismic punching power and penchant for thrilling, action-packed bouts. Currently riding a 3-fight win streak with knockout wins over the likes of Johnny Walker, Thiago Santos, and Jimmy Crute, Hill is storming through the light heavyweight division in pursuit of a title fight with the reigning champion, Jiří Procházka.
Away from the cage, Jamahal Hill is a humorous character. On his Instagram account, Hill often posts comical skits of himself poking fun at inexplicable moments fans have come to recognize in the cage. These include occasions when fighters who immediately shoot for takedowns against an opponent they've rocked badly or a mixed martial artist who throws 50 feints only to throw a jab that never lands.
