Since the sites have become as integral to MMA as MMA itself Im tossing it here.
Did anyone catch the sherdog radio shows today? They were dissin on junkie a bit. Mainly focusing their dissin on yahoo but making sure to associate "UFC Junkie" with yahoo in their trashing of Yahoo for switching their tab from MMA to UFC. They seemed to go out of their way to link the two and act as if they had barely heard of junkie. Just thought it was amusing. Sherdog basically treats the other sites like the UFC treats the other MMA orgs.... yet bashes the UFC for doing such.

Sherdog is run by a bunch of NPD types.

I didn't catch that but I think mmajunkie is by far the superior site. The guys at Sherdog are fools to think they have a better product than Dan. I've watched this site go from a small obscure blog to a major player in the mma media and visit everyday before I go to Sherdog. The forums over there are an absolute mess, people starting out as whote belts get hounded and harassed for everything they post, and experienced posters get called "nuthuggers" for every comment they make supporting a fighter. Not to mention the look of Sherdog is dreadfull with the black background and clear bias on the part of their "reporters".

sherdog is linked to ESPN. does'nt make it any better. cuz espn's MMA coverage consists of MMALive and basically only UFC stuff from there.

Shut up Billa you only have 38 posts, you have no idea what you're talking about
I do like the news portion of Sherdog, but the forums is a mess. It'd be cool to have an avatar for this site though (No sigs, just an avatar)

More people will click on a link that says UFC. Although it would be best if they had a UFC/MMA titled section.
So is Yahoo done covering everything other than UFC? That's kind of disappointing.

Exactly my point I've been lurking on sherdog and mmajunkie among others for years but rarely post. I like to think I know as much about mma as most "hardcore" fans yet my opinion is not valued on Sherdog. Here most people don't seem to be such jerks and have more civilized meanful discussions. Hence mmajunkie is better than Sherdog by far.

I agree on the forums bigtime. The only forums worth anything there is the warroom and thats because it is what it is....off topic damn near anything goes fun and gun so I occasionally go there though admittedly hadnt been thee in many months til the other day.
As far as bias you see that everywhere including Junkie, though junkie has done really well at limiting it say from the total nuttyhuggery they did of the first affliction show through now.
The funny thing to me about sherdog is when they talk about other sites they generally just lump them in as "blog" sites when infact sherdog is exactly that. They rarely report news, are almost never first to post news and their site is clearly dominated by opinion blogs and lifestyle type pictures.
Its really funny the only show of theirs I listen too with any regularity is beatdown because the banter between the three hosts is usually fairly lively. This week I figured they would have ramped up the shows a bit though for UFC 100 so been trying to listen to all of them. Its kind of funny, they are treating UFC 100 almost as if its not even happening. An event that is possibly going to be the largest draw PPV event in MMA history and they seem to not really care that its happening. I guess if its not the WCF streaming on their site they dont really care about it *shrug*

Woah my post got edited by the mods I guess. I didn't think using the "___huggers" word was forbidden. I beleive Dr. Benjamin used it in one of his articles and therefore was considered acceptable. Sorry if i made a boo boo mods.

I'm so happy n*huggers is blocked. I hate that s---. That insult is thrown around constantly at Sherdog. You're not allowed to be a fan of any fighters there.

Although I didn't expect to be censored for using that word I'm glad it can't be used here. That's part of the reason junkie is better and part of my original point. Those folks over there are totally uncivilized and almost never have anything meaningful to say other than how they just met fighter x at the airport, lol.

Really thats gonna be the case of any message board of that size to be honest. At some point a message board becomes nearly impossible to moderate with volunteer moderators which most message board sites use (and I am guessing Sherdog uses as well as junkie). As Junkie grows eventually the forum will degrade even though they have put some early measures in to put forth some control.

They're just jealous of the Junkie's alliance with Yahoo.

S***dog used to be a good place to get breaking mma news which to me is why it became big. It wasn't always factually correct, but chances are somebody mentioned it there before it was confirmed anywhere else.
That was more than a year ago and since then most other sites have caught up as far as mma news and rumors go. So it doesn't really have that going for it anymore.
the only thing it has that could be cool is the "pros pick", however, the pros always pick the wrong fighter, so even that isn't that great of a feature anymore.
