10 UFC fighters with the most Instagram followers

#4 Jon Jones – 2.6m followers

Don’t tell current UFC Heavyweight and Light-Heavyweight champ Daniel Cormier, but his hated rival Jon Jones – the only man to ever defeat DC in professional MMA – also has him beaten in terms of Instagram followers too. Cormier’s account currently boasts 1.3m followers – essentially half of the total who follow Jones’ account. But as a polarising and controversial figure, ‘Jonny Bones’ is practically guaranteed to garner attention.

And Jones’s Instagram is equally polarising. It’s full of cool training clips and shots, as well as some great motivational quotes – ranging from Gandhi to the Bible. But Jones’ Instagram also shows exactly what he thinks of his “haters” – a controversial February post stated “No, I am not on steroids – you’re just a pussy”. A swipe at Cormier, perhaps?
