Share your sherdog myths, this is that place.

#1 Machida was hurt against Sokoudjou in the stand-up.

Wow finally Soko pressured him while no one else has to that point, still gets stopped in the second round. I didn't ever see Machida look uncomfortable until the Shogun and Jones fights.

#2 Vitor was outstriking Chuck in their fight.

It was a three round fight, but an obvious decision to Chuck. Vitor took him down early in round 1 then was getting tagged the rest of the fight, that was Vitor's MO back then if you didn't know.

#3 - McGregor doesn't deserve his title shot.

 

[Roca]

Fedor was good at one point.

Credentials are actually important. Olympic wrestling in MMA is better than high school/JUCO wrestling.

Rumble is a slow 'plodding' fighter.

In reality, one of his greatest attributes is that ability to throw strikes/combinations seamlessly while moving forward. That's what makes him such a great finisher, not just his power. It's what you would expect though from a student of Henri Hooft.

some things are huge if they are true

 

[SerigneTouba]

There are alot of them. The heavys is filled with random opinions.

The biggest might be that Vitor sucks without TRT

 

[PowermmA]

Both weidmans wins over anderson were completely normal stoppages

 

[yookfarb]

Conor McGregor is unworthy of the hype.

Let's see, my sherdog myths:


-Aldo is basic, WEC Aldo > UFC Aldo

-Ronda is the female Royce

-Jones vs Cormier was a Jones domination

-Aldo vs Edgar was close

Randy took down Brock in their fight. I've seen this claim several times recently. I've even read that Randy "easily took down" Brock. From memory (and the link below), it never happened, though Brock took Randy down, which I remember.

It does say Brock may have avoided a TD by grabbing the fencing. I guess you can halfway count that as a TD, but you never really know.

"I never heard of Brock Lesnar until he signed with the UFC."
"I never heard of CM Punk until he signed with the UFC."

I've never read that, but I've seen people compare Rumble to Rampage. That implies that Rumble is slow and plodding. Your counter to that argument is spot-on.

Glover and Rampage are comparable in that area. Rumble is totally different.

Connor.....period


Frank mir/Charlie brenneman curse tho. they are legit real.

If you beat them....you lose.

Well it can be true if you don't live in the US.

UberTS has a weakness

 

[fightfan84]

Vitor forgets how to fight without TRT and is lucky if he can even walk to the cage by himself now, People basically make it seem like the man needs help going to the bathroom and shit now hes doesn't have TRT.

Any fighter that gets tagged and k.o'd by a big punch was never any good to begin with. see this lots after someone gets knockout. Its the fight game, big punches drop people all the time it happens, you get in enough fights you'll understand for sure

This. Some things are just too huge to be true.
