History What Brought You To Sherdog

Pretty sure I was looking up death and fight videos on Napster or Limewire and there was a comp vid that had the Sherdog logo on it. Brought back memories of watching those early events.
 
Its fun hear. I was a lurker since 2007 then I signed up in 2011 when I learned that the belts here are not really repressentative of dan bekt degrees of Judo or Karate lol.

I dont fight I cant but I love watching martial arts and brawls.

Then I discovered the crazy stuff getting posted here found sone friends here and there.
 
lol oh man was it simpler.

and NEW tbh, in 07 I hadn't seen anything like it.
oh sure, there were a few other 'fite' forums but this place has
almost always had a special luster to it IMO.

must be the admin and mod staff.
(shameless suckup)
 
My friends and I were all huge MMA fans starting in the mid 00s. One of my friends still owns a BJJ gym in the Chicagoland area, the rest of us rarely watch any MMA at all.

Back when there were like 5 UFCs a year, I rarely missed one.
 
needed a fighter database once Pride disbanded so I could keep track of Fedor Crocop Hendo Rampage Overeem and Wand, etc.

Fight finder was perfect and I started lurking on and off for about 12 years before I decided to join the forum
 
It was ago and was Gracie related but I can't remember what.
I started Brazilian jiu-jitsu last year and have always been a fan of MMA.

However after perusing the ufc forum I can’t help but to conclude MMA fans are among the worst of any sport
 
I had an account back in '06.
Back then, Cagewarriors forum was pretty well established in Europe - as a forum, dare I say "competitive" with Sherdog numbers (I'm speculating).
As a shit-stirring Brit, I joined just to troll and talk smack about how UK and Western Europe was going to take over UFC.
Well, back then I was very wrong.
I only began coming back when Cagewarriors forum shut down.
A lot of British MMA fighters graced the boards there. Not many carried over to here.
 
the desire to learn how to crush my enemies and the need to hear the lamentations of their women
no nobler pursuit exists
 
That unknown hot chicks thread in P&M from back in the day. It became a series, can't remember what version it was on before if was lost/phased out.

Man, there were some out-of-this-world amateur hotties in those threads.
