I'm sorry, but sometimes the sheer number of errors in sherdog articles overwhelms me, and I think you guys should do something about it for your own benefit. Just look at Thomas Rios' article on WVR today.

"The once-endless reservoir of patience he had with the MMA literati is running out faster than the national oil reserve."

This sentence is ungrammatical. What is he trying to say: that Barnett had patience with the MMA literati, or that the MMA literati had patience with Barnett?

"Knocking off the imminently popular Barnett would be a step in the right direction for Monson, "

IMMINENTLY popular instead of EMINENTLY popular?! This is like a 5th grade error in a professional piece of journalism.

And why disparage Barnett and Monson throughout the piece? I completely disagree with his characterizations of both fighters. Barnett is not considered someone who has failed to live up to his potential, but that is how the article paints him. It's sheer sensationalism.
