That @Shane-O-Mac belt is pretty sweet.

Continued:
Made a selection out of all the suggestions in the previous thread (see the stickies) and came up with this. So here it is, the ULTIMATE List of Sherdog classics, memes and legends PART 2. Enjoy!
The Ronda – Holly gif
One of the most epic moments in MMA history was Holly Holm knocking out Ronda Rousey during UFC 193. At that moment Ronda was considered a 10/10 and a once in a lifetime athlete. That all went down the drain when the preachers daughter KO’d Ronda with a Michael Cro-Cop-esque left high kick. Even now the following gif (or original footage) is ALWAYS present in any Ronda Rousey thread. A truly glorious moment. As a fellow Sherbro pointed out: “Ronda’s loss united the world and we almost found a cure for cancer”
Honorable mention: Sherbo Whippy McGee actually went full Nostradamus and predicted the correct outcome of the fights minutes before it started. Received tens of “Wasteland” and “Ban” replies, but is now considered a legit fortune teller:

UFC Poster curse (debunked)
A lot of long time Sherdoggers will remember the UFC poster curse. Zuffa released a poster of all the champions at that time. Legends say the poster was cursed since one by one everyone on the poster lost their title. Some by fighting, others due to reasons outside the octagon. It probably never occurred to us that in the end all champions will lose their title.
The UFC poster curse was debunked on January 17th 2016 when Dominic Cruz retained the bantamweight title.
My pic with Matt Hughes / Nosferatu
Sherbro Nosferatu (now called uyokij_uykhgrk for reasons unknown) once met UFC legend Matt Hughes. He decided it was a good idea to post the picture on Sherdog. A roast was expected, but this thread really takes it to the next level. A must read for those who missed it. Nosferatu deleted the picture and changed his username, but the internet never forgets:

Werdum troll face
The Werdum troll face is so well known on Sherdog I hesitated to put him in the list, but it must be here for future MMA noobs who read this thread. At one point the Werdum trollface mask was even prohibited at UFC event.
Werdum became even more a legend after making the cry baby gesture to the audience, front kicking Edmond Targaryan, getting ready to fight Browne’s entire team and holding back his own team who wanted to do the same.
Overeem, Ubereem, Econoreem
The Netherlands have had their fair share of good fighters, but the best three are without a doubt Alistair Overeem, Alistair Ubereen and Alistair Econoreem. We have no idea which Dutch fighter named Alistair will show up next, probably depends on the availability of horsemeat here in Holland.
Fun fact: Alistair used to have the nickname “The demolition man”, but changed that to “The Reem”, and yes we Sherbro’s made that name up. That is probably our biggest accomplishment ever.
MMA Pool party
One of the first truly epic photoshops that led to the tradition of high quality shoop threads on Sherdog. Also see the first Sherdog classics thread for some of the best of them.
Darude Sandstorm (actually NOT a Sherdog meme)
A lot of Sherbro’s actually think the Darude Sandstorm meme (if you don’t know it, learn how to internet) has his origins in Sherdog because people kept asking what the Wanderlei walkout song was. This is debunked though. The meme originated in 2007 when YouTuber Gamestream uploaded a COD4 gameplay video with Sandstorm in the background. The video gained over 7600 comments and hundreds of them asking what the song was. So even though we create a LOT of memes… this one is not one of ours.
Explosive Bethe
One of the most iconic gifs that still bring a smile to most Sherbro’s even after seeing it for the 253235th time. So just to make you guys smile here it is again:
Threads about Conor
We had threads about Fedor, about Jon Jones, about Ronda… but there has never been a fighter who had more threads than Conor. I don’t expect any fighter to surpass him in the future either. You want some examples of Conor/Connor/Coner threads? Here you go: http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/ufc-discussion.2/
Gay Jesus
The bible can be somewhat confusing at times. On the one hand we shall not kill, on the other hand god kills the whole world except some Jewish guy with a boat and a zoo. Another thing is homosexuality. It is forbidden, but at the same time.. what if Jesus was actually gay himself? Thank god we have Joel Romeiro to shine some light on this debate:
“What happened to you USA? What happened to you? What is going on? You forget for the best of the best of the world. The name is Jesus Cry. What happened to you? What come USA? (inaudible) Go for Jesus! No for gay Jesus people!”
Well that settles it I guess.
Joe Rogan is turning into a frog
Yeah you probably have to be a pothead to enjoy this one.. if not you can skip this one. Seriously.

Dana the clown
We all hate Dana White, but we all also love Dana White. From the greatest news ever’s that turnout to be UFC hot dog burners to the Ronda can beat Mayweather quotes, from the fucking illegal to the you wanna be a fighter speeches and from the Reebok is great for the fighters quote to the you goof/dummy meme. Dana is a character. There is a reason why Dana the clown is one of the most used images on Sherdog. Because it’s true.
Additional stick figure shirts
As if the original Reebok fight kits weren’t bad enough, for some reason Reebok decided it would be a great idea to make even worse looking shirts with stick figures on it. The shirts all have a traditional martial arts theme (jiu-jistsu, karate, muay thai etc.), which is kinda limited if you think about it. Luckily we have Sherdog and photoshop to extend the collection a little bit. Below is just one of the gems, this thread is full of pure gold.

The white belt uprising
Even long time Sherbro’s might not remember this one, but it was pretty epic. At one point in time (all remains have been deleted so I have no idea what year it was), tens of white belts took part in what now is known as “the white belt uprising”. In the span of only a few days they decided to protest against the strict Sherdog rules regarding mostly porn. They commited e-suicide by flooding Sherdog with obscene pictures of mainly naked men. Even some long term users took part and they all lost their accounts.

The time Phil Baroni went on Sherdog
When a Sherbro meets a fighter in real life it is kinda mandatory to post it on Sherdog. So did Sherdogger “Strikes Again” some years ago when he met Phil Baroni. It turned out he actually did meet him and the proof of that came from Phil Baroni himself via a post on Sherdog. The account turned out to be legit. It was one of the most epic post on Sherdog from the best evah.
“Im 5'9 1/2 to be exact.
Funny Note: The guy in the pic Im with stands on his tippy toes when taking pic's. This way he can look big an bash on fighters about how small fighters look next to him.
He also has very small hands.
I think he was upset when I met his girl friend who was taking the picture. She said ( My GOD your hands are so big.) after we shook hands. Whatever that is suppose to mean or imply Im not sure.
A fighter did getbloodall over my suit that I just bought for the event. No I was not annoyed, yes I triend to get it out.
Does anyone else find it a little creepy that a guy with a Mo Hawk an lust filled eyes was starring at me for fifteen minutes after I signed two things for him an took a picture with him ?
Strikes Again look alot taller inpicsthan in person. An also alot bigger. I thought you were at max 160 lbs.
I just spoke to Kang an forwarded the thread to him. He said try a little trident or even a tic tac or two nexttimeyou approach somebody an maybe just maybe they will have more time tochatwith you.
Funny Note: I had the sniffles so I couldnt smell anything.
Well anyway nice meeting you Strikes Again an shaking you girlfriends hand. It was a pleasure. I had a great time in Canada I was treated great the city was very nice the fans were all very cool. I look forward to a return visit.

Ronda's boxing
Even though Ronda was a pure grappler at one point in time, Edmond Targaryan, one of the GOAT's just like Muhammed Ali, learned her how to be a very technical boxer. Alongside the first classic in this thread we also have this gem:
Bonus: for those who don't know who Edmond Targaryan is, here is the Edmond Targaryan appreciation thread:

Todd Duffee eating a burrito while on Sherdog
Phil Baroni is not the only fighter to visit Sherdog from time to time. Here is a picture of Todd Duffee eating a burrito while bein a Sherbro. Nothing more to it actually.
Fedor’s Glorious Sweater of Absolute Victory
Fedor Emelianenko is one of the GOAT candidates for sure (those debates are a Sherdog classic on it’s own), but would he have been as succesfull without his Glorious Sweater of Absolute Victory? Most people doubt it.
"I cannot understand actually why this sweater became that famous and there is no famous sweater actually because that's my wear, that's my manner," Fedor said through a translator. "I take the thing and I wear it until it becomes really very old. And I know this sweater became really very old."
Just a few months after this interview it turned out that the GSOAV had retired. Fedor says he doesn't know where it currently is but thinks it could be somewhere in his home in Stary Oskol, Russia.
Why the Dutch are the Dutch
One of the best troll threads from one of the best posters on Sherdog. He explains why the Dutch can be as big as Alistair Overeem (in the Ubereem era). He also explains how the hamburger (a traditional Dutch dish) originated and how adopting Dutch genes can actually make anyone in the world stronger. Even though the trolling is obvious, it took a while for most people to realise it was. It became an epic discussion about race, genes, the Dutch and steroids.

TwerkNasty
Most oldschool Sherbro’s will remember TwerkNasty. Where guys like KOfinger just post 10 threads everyday this guy took a more subtle approach by just posting this picture in EVERY thread on Sherdog. For those who missed it it might look like a minor thing, but they cannot comprehend how it is to see this picture EVERYWHERE, ALWAYS in EVERY thread. A true Sherdog legend without a doubt.
The Shoop that Silva thread
One of the better Shoop threads. Not only because the shoops are great, but also because of the ethic discussion inside the thread and even modwars over the question wether or not it should be in the heavies.
Warning: it shows Silva’s broken leg about 800 times.
http://forums.sherdog.com/threads/shoop-dat-silva.2639345/
My wife met Cain Velasquez
One day fellow Sherbro Flying Burrito thought it was a good idea to post a picture of his wife and Cain Velasquez. I think we could all predict what would happen, but for some reason Flying Burrito didn’t. The original thread has been lost sadly enough, but there is still this video on youtube with some of the best shoops in that thread. It is unknown if Flying Burrito and his wife are still together.
Dan Henderson as nightrider gif
Back in the days most gifs were just some pictures added together. Then came the option to put faces into videos. One of the first (and still best ones) on Sherdog came after Henderson KO’s Bisping. Well.. that’s all I can say about it I guess. Classic Sherdog gif.
Sherdog and beautifulpeople.com
Some time ago Sherdog discovered beautifulpeople.com. A datingsite that only allowed beautiful people. The site actually calculates wether or not someone is beautiful, so Sherdog went full retard and admitted basically every MMA fighter known to man. Those who remember still know how epic that was. The original thread doesn’t exist anymore, but we still have this “score” for Sexyama, confirming we are not gay for thinking he is sexy.
Hammerfist of doom
Easily the most brutal KO in the history of the sport, obvious Sherdog classic.
Hassy and Mark Hunt
We all like (pre salty) Mark Hunt. But few can match Hassy “XJP” Nishikawa. The Japanese fan went to lengths to meet Mark Hunt and made some of the most disturbing drawings ever made. On Hunt’s Facebookpage he wrote this message:
“Dear HUNT
At first, thanks for ur greatful fight wiz Bigfoot.
I was very excited. HUNT, u’re real Superman.
But, I knew from ur tweet…u’re broken hand.
I’m very worried. Can I watch ur bravely fight on “Giant Killing 3″…?
And, Can I meet u again…? I’m lookin’ forward to u come back to JPN.
Boku wa, HUNT ni sugoku aitai(I want to meet u very much)…
2013.12.9
HASSY “XJP” Nishikawa”
A lot of famous people would’ve been intimidated by this borderline gay stalker, but Hunt is Hunt and actually went to visit Hassy when he was in Japan. Just google “Hassy Hunt” for some of his amazing artwork.
Epic moment when Hassy and Hunt finally met
Teh Hawtness
Before we all started masturbating on Sexyama, we had Teh Hawtness (Yoshihiro Takayama). Know to take more punishment than the whole UFC roster combined (tied with Don Frye, look up their fight on youtube) and having the most sexy haircut in MMA until today. The Hawtness is one of the oldest classics on Sherdog.
The time that Bas Rutten en Jason Delucia got into an argument on Sherdog
Yep, that really happened in 2004. Was comepletely new to me, but one of the most epic things that have ever occured on Sherdog. I bet most of you have no idea. Enjoy:

BJ Nodding gif
Yeah well… this is the BJ Nodding gif. You can basically use it in any situation at any time at any place. Just find a thread with 0 responses, be quick and post it, and receive likes. Really. Try it.
I would like to be apart of your historical thread
