I know thst's not the best way to dictate a star, but damn. Is he star? I never saw him as one.
 
How many of those are south of the border?
Bought?

Not all Twitter followers are organic, nor do they necessarily translate to $$$.

There are trolls, bots, and spam accounts with that many followers;
 
You'd think he'd have more considering he beat Brock Lesnar.
 
The name 'Cain Velasquez' just seems ominous and carries so much weight. Im not surprised he has that many followers.
 
You started a thread just to post that? Why didn't you just tell a friend? Oh... wait
 
Cool, he only needs 104 million more to dethrone Justin Bieber as twitter champ.
 
My guess he is good for about 350-450 k buys I would say, more if you give him a great match up or less if he has an opponent with less of a draw like say Werdum (dude is a PPV killer).

Now days close to a mill followers ain't exactly great levels I think Brendan Schaub is getting close to those numbers to put things into perspective. Noticed more activity on Instagram it's easier to have more followers there. Then again I'm no social media expert the only account I made was for Twitter way back and that's just so I can fallow some fighters/lesser stars that maybe benefited from more social media followers.

In HWs the draw king is Lesnar by far, then maybe prime JDS had a good fallowing that could do 500k buys then Cain, nowadays just the average 300k and Cain has inactivity issues so he will need a fight to reintroduce himself in the public casual eye.

The Champ Stipe went from 30k to 170k in 3 tittle defenses. Cleveland don't do twitter or what ? maybe MMA ain't that big even in his own city.
 
JDS has 1.3 million followers. He could've been a legit star if Cain didn't ruin his career.
 
And that’s just his family

Almost as many Twitter followers as injuries he's had in his career.
 
If he was active and winning over the past few years, he would be a top 5 draw in the UFC. He's always been good for 300-500 thousand buys with his second fight with JDS coming close to 600k and his fight with Lesnar doing over a million.
 
Mostly nurses and physiotherapists.
