Do you think the UFC trolls sherdog for input?

[muaymilk]

Do you think people from the UFC troll Sherdog and other forums/comment sections of other MMA websites and or data mines them to see what people are interested in seeing?

 

[Fraz]

No because UFC is dying

 

[VulcanNervPinch]

They definitely have some people looking at least now and then. How much is unknown.

Same goes for shill posting.

 

[RawHawg]

No, they just look for honest opinions and hope they will be positive.

 

[SouthoftheAndes]

For sure. Or at least seeing what the fans want. This is a pretty large mma community. It would be foolish for them to not do it especially since it's so easy to monitor this site.

 

[Jack Reacheround]

They do. I'm sure that isn't their only job with the UFC. But they definitely have people who, as part of their job, not only read the forums but post propaganda on them. I've sen some posts in the HW forum that were very obviously UFC commercials. One that sticks out is before the UFC gyms opened, this guy posted that he just happened to drop by one of them to check it out. His entire post stank of a terrible advertisement.

Oh they're way above that...

What is this, 'UFC'?

I'm Dana White and you can all get fucked.

I bet jesus freak works for them. He is payback for all the anti reebok posting

 

[drstrangelov]

No, because their product has been distilled into competition and rankings, you only get fun fights when people drop out due to injury. In those cases options are obviously limited, and nobody on this forum has ever proposed a truly novel idea.

WWE monitors the PWD though, and barely care to hide it.

 

[Death By Samson]

At the very least they'd be shortsighted to not have some low level flunky online to guage fan reaction to leaked or rumored match-ups.
e.g. Hendo vs Bisping

 

[NHB7]

Based on how much Dana whines about keyboard warriors, he must be reading what they say.

 

[Kardashians]

[weed]

of course. me personally? UFC Fight Pass couldn't be any sweeter than it is now, with unlimited access to the libraries of fights, interviews, etc. join now to be a TRUE MMA fan, not a but-pirate fan, blasting the UFC in the ass. remember, it's those who gain access to content illegally that are responsible for MMArtists being so poor. Heebok all day!

Absolutely, its why we get rematches 152 times a year.

 

[Jermei]

For sure they do. Lawler / Hendricks III was scrapped shortly after a poll here suggested that a significant % of posters were against it and many threads were made too of how nobody wanted it.

Also, when the UFC were scrambling to replace RDA most people here wanted Nate Diaz and the next day Dana said "Nate is who the fans want." ...... so, what fans? Us obviously at Sherdog and the UG etc, we're the real fans of mma, who post in the mma forums. They'd be stupid not to pay attention of what we say here.

 

[marioh]

Of course, and not just Sherdog.
