Hot Take Weirdest sherdog fighter profiles

I thought those pictures were not only funny, but they were the best of a very small crop when I was filling in their profiles for their UFC debuts. Sometimes funny > tough.

And then like Hill became a top contender and I figured it was time to upgrade him with an even funnier picture.

I'm going with native fella right off the reservation, but what do I know?

Would not be shocked. Native guys with tribal names or nicknames compete all the time, and they try to be like "just call me Beaver," to which we have to reply, "no, what's your real name?" But back 25 years ago? Good luck tracking that down.

Records of those OG events basically only exist on Sherdog, and were then scraped to other DBs like Wiki and Tapo.
 
Don't know about weirdest, but most drip for a fighter profile has to go to Danny "The Italian Gangster" Sabatello

Just for the track suit alone

You think that we don't know about the allegations of fight fixing surrounding this guy? You think we haven't struggled with and battled back and forth about this guy and others from the UK jumping back and forth from ammy to pro back to ammy with no distinction between the two? Trust us, there's a nightmare under the surface of recordkeeping in the UK specifically, because there is no cultural or societal barrier blocking professionals from returning to the ranks of amateurs. Yet.

Marc Goddard and the EMMAF is trying, but they are acting like a "shadow commission" with no actual enforcement or authoritative powers yet. Government hasn't signed off on it being the primary federation yet, they're too busy still dealing with the ramifications of Brexit--but that conversation is for another subforum.

Good thing for us and Street is that he hasn't competed in over four years, and I think he might have finally called it. He tried to come back last year at some record padding event in Wales where all the losers had never won a fight and the winners mostly had.

As for Street's amateur record of 5-28 that we have listed, my predecessors at Fight Finder deprioritized working on amateur events, under the notion that we need to have all of our pro bases covered before we drift into unpaid MMA where the rules are always changing (because they can, amateur has a huge range of options compared to pro) and records are extremely poorly kept. It's only been the last several years that we pumped amateur events again, but you'd be shocked at the sheer volume of combat on any given week.

Yeah...you touched a nerve, even though you had the foresight to delete this post.

Okay.

Now Sherdog just needs to add odds at the time of fight, weigh in weights, whether a fight was for a title, if a fight was a successful title defense, extracurricular combat activities between fights, cancelled fights and reasons for cancellation and fighters social media links.. I could go on. Tapology is the premier fight database and has been for years now.

Fact: Pettry is the only MMA media to score Khabib vs Tibau for Khabib

Fact: Unfortunately I was in law school at the time and not yet part of the MMA media, but watching live I did think Tibau easily won it. On this similar topic, I got a whole lot of crap for my Chimaev/Burns scorecard, as the only MMA media member to score it for Burns. I still stand by it.

Oh yeah that's who it was...Burns in the Khamzat fight lol
 
Am I correct in remembering Kevin Rosier's Fight Finder pic was a close crop of him getting punched in the face?

Viktor Bogutzki

2 loses - 1x to Prochazka, 1x to Verhoeven.

Fun fact:
They signed him as fighter with 5-1 record for short notice title fight versus Prochazka. He told them that his sherdog is not right due to some dispute between promoter and sherdog. (Atleast thats what commentator says before fight.)



Year later in fight vs Verhoeven his stats "are" 1-0-1 -



BTW fact that Verhoeven fight is commentated by Andrew Tate and refered by Herb Dean is funny as hell
