edit: How accurate is sherdog fight finder? I found another site mixedmartialarts.com according to which certain undefeated fighters on sherdog have losses on it, or have most of their fights as amateur.
I believe that wikipedia is the most reliable of the bunch because they are the most heavily and regularly monitored and edited. databases like Sherdog and mixedmartialarts.com are updated rapidly with new info (and thus make great original sources) but mistakes take forever to fix, if ever, while wikipedia editors continually examine conflicting sources and are pretty good at figuring out who made the error and getting the data right.
I learned in school that Wikipedia is the single worst website you could ever put on the bibliography because of how openly edited it is. However, in terms of MMA I agree that is is the MOST reliable website.
i was looking at some undefeated fighters with 7-0 or 10-0 records on sherdog (stats- best record overall) and when i looked up more info on these fighters i found out actually half their fights were amateur or they had losses on their records that were not included. that gives them a false aura of invincibility and i dont understand why sherdog doesnt fix it.
ROFL sounds about right although I do like their radio shows, Beatdown is decent even if I dont always agree with them, they do some good interviews. Its the forums that kill that site IMO.
Well one good thing that comes from Sherdog is their broadcast of some MMA fights. It maybe limited but it's still good. Otherwise yeah it's a little spammy!
Yeah, and we would have even more problems. There would be crashing forums and alot more discipline issues. At least they diverge from this forum!:thumbsup:
