I had a dream, of Sherdog without Conor McGregor.

Henry Cejudo was the face of the fight game, we were still debating whether Rickson would beat Bas by Rickson by armbar, UFC were using more and more birds in every poster and it was so... boring.

Love the man or hate him, lets all agree that there's nothing like a Conor McGregor fight, the man brings a level of excitement that no one else brings. That fight week is always crazy. Sherdog will be buzzing and no matter who he's fighting, he'll always make you believe that he can pull it off....

Greatest MMA Performances

What MMA fight do you think showcased the best version of that specific fighter we've seen. For example

I Co mian evented in a card that Erick Silva lost in and I have no sherdog record..

I took a fight in 2006 on three days notice, the event is on sherdog https://www.sherdog.com/events/SV-Superfight-Vitoria-4853 but it doesn't have my match in the results. It was the co-main event as I was replacing future UFC fighter Marcelo Guimaraes and my opponent Gilmar Andrade was going to get paid 5k regardless if he had a opponent or not. The promoters went crazy trying to find a replacment and after going to the local kickboxing fighter of the town I was living in, he had...

Have any sherdog members fought Irl?

I felt like I remember a thread from like 10yrs ago of some dumbasses on here meeting up and fighting but i cant find it.
Edit: im a dumb ass. In real life bros. C'mon bros

Will MMA ever catch up to eSports?

There was a time when eSports was a fledgling novelty and the UFC was in its heyday- consistently drawing millions of viewers on TUF and selling massive PPV's off the back of stars like Chuck, Randy, GSP, and Brock. Those days are long gone (aside from Conor) while eSports has taken off like a rocket.



This weekend NYC is taken over by the Fortnite World Cup, hosted at the...

Will MMA ever catch up to eSports?

Any MMA podcast suggestions?

I usually watch/listen to Bisping and Luis J Gomez "Believe You Me". Which is pretty good.
Don't really listen to any others, other than gambling orientated ones. Any ideas?

Don't say Rogan.

best wrestlers (in the world) are gonna get beat in Future UFC/MMA WRESTLING IS NOT BEST MMA BASE

The sport is evolving

UFC and other American mma promotions are doing everything in their power to advantage the American wrestler because they want "all american champs" so they can sell swag to the fake wrestling NASCAR fanboys [smart business]

Wrestlers have lots of terrible habits that leave them vulnerable to good knee artists and the best submission guys

the most accomplished wrestlers are NEVER gonna be that good in mma and just get "fluffed" up for the slack jawed fanboys

These...

Bodybuilders perceived higher value than fighters...

Edit: I meant perception. Alpha was wrong word.


It's a shame because mma is harder than bodybuilding and more dangerous but if you build a physique that may not be big but aesthetic you get instant access to to babes and respect. It's also very healthy if you do it right and naturally.

It is heartbreaking because mma fighters come from a place of deficiency and being pushed around. They take up the training to empower themselves and make their mark in life but sadly ex fighters tend to be...

Pacquiao beat 9 undefeated fighters. Mayweather?

Three.

No wonder who's the greatest of this era. The one with most linear titles ever? The one in 8 division championship wins?

GSP has beaten more top 5 fighters than anyone despite fighting in the deepest weight class.

- More top 5 wins than any fighter ever
- More wins over UFC Hall of Famers than any fighter ever
- Higher winning percentage than Silva, Fedor, DJ, Aldo, and even Jones (because we all know he lost to Santos and Gus)
- Fought in the most stacked weight class in MMA history, vs multiple GOAT level fighters such as Hughes and Penn
- Never tested positive, and was part of the reason why USADA was implemented
- Fought and beat confirmed juicers like Sherk and Alves, and other suspect guys like...

How long does it takes to learn a standing backflip? - UFC fighters doing standing backflip

Is this hard to learn ?
If you still didn't try to learn this , how long would you need to practice to be able to do it like some of the UFC fighters when they celebrate ?

Gus

Fighters' nicknames you disagree with

George "rush" St Pierre
"Joanna Champion"
"Thug" Rose

Jon Jones isnt the GOAT, true GOATS are must watch fighters. Jones isnt that.

The facts dont lie. Without steroids Jones isnt an exciting fighter. His fights are uneventful and nothing anyone should plan around. Its the type of fight you watch highlights of on ESPN and nod your head as if you expected this all along.

The OSP fight was terrible. Then he fought DC a second time and won by TKO but he tested positive for steroids and his win was overturned. Fast forward to the Gus fight which was a snoozer even though Jones won by TKO. Watching the fight up until that...

Best and worst cases of fighters moving up in weight

The best ones wouls obviously be Whittaker and Cormier, both became champions. Add Nunes to that too but 145 is... Not really much to talk about.
Rockhold moving up in weight was a bad move. I also remember Stipe destroying fabio when he moved up but those were one fights only. Any more examples?

Top 5 WMMA fighters?

I saw on twitter last night a discussion where the question was asked, if Nunes is the GOAT of WMMA then who is the 2nd?

If I had to make a top 5 it would probably be;

1. Nunes
2. Ronda
3. Cyborg
4. JJ
5. Valentina


As of right now I'd have it fairly close between JJ and Valentina. Holly wouldn't make my top 5 unfortunately, besides Ronda she doesn't really have any great wins either.

Would you guys have Cyborg over Rousey?
How high would Valentina be? There was people on twitter...

Cockiest quotes in MMA history

"I'm working on the intricacies of details of maneuvers that he still doesn't even know the names of". - Frank Mur before eating strawberries


"What if I put three or four wins together? Who's to say I don't get a title shot'?" - CM Punk

Tbh if that right hand or uberknee would've landed it wouldn't have been that far fetched...

Shannon Sharpe on Amanda Nunes: She is the greatest MMA female fighter ever and it “AIN’T” close.

Pro Football Hall of Famer and star of Skip and Shannon: Undisputed's Shannon Sharpe has commented on Amanda Nunes' place in MMA history. What are your thoughts on this? I have to agree with him.

UFC mocks own fighters

There was post on UFC instagram page about Ronda getting KO'd. After backlash in comment section post was deleted. So I'm asking you...by accident someone has a link to the archive or screenshot?

Stadium packed with soccer fans for the women's World Cup yet MMA "fans"...

...do nothing but shit talk about women's MMA.

Watching the round of 16... It's great to see soccer fans being soccer fans for the love of the sport no matter the gender. Ticket resell prices are also through the roof.

MMA and their fans still have a long way to go.

Dana wants finishes, refuses to pay the fighters?

He wants you to go for broke and get brain damaged CTE, but there’s 12 fights on any given card and if you get the finish, there’s no guarantee you even get the bonus.

Bottom gif is an example of not getting a bonus even for a spectacular 1 hitter quitter.



My suggestion is to at least compensate fighters for getting the finish, fuck at least incentivize them with a couple 50% Reebok coupons at the very...
