Why did you join sherdog ?

Why did you join ?
Why are you still here ?
When do you use it?

for me:

Joined - to check in on latest MMA news and people’s opinions to educated my self to bet smarter on fights

Still here - Got used to it and have no one knowledgeable around me anymore since I stopped training, spend most of my time with my girl and close friends are into boxing

Use it- mostly before PPV and after, occasionally on my lunch break as I’m trying to avoid social media during the day

I joined bc I’m awesome and wanted to share with others
 
way way back a couple decades ago when Pride Fc was in full swing

i managed to procure an unlocked tv box, so started watching all the ppv's

pride was my favorite, i saw the sherdog logo on rampages shorts. the announcers mentioned it.

i looked it up and been here ever since.

since i moved up north from civilization, this is the only place i can talk about fighting without getting weird looks.

and since i am a seasonal worker, i have a lot of free time in the winter to watch fights, and provoke trolls.
 
I was living in Japan and they were showing some Kickboxing. I started looking up Ernesto Hoost on YouTube and found this video.



I saw the sherdog.com spinning in the bottom right and looked it up.

I joined for the MMA and stay for the conversation and friends.

Don’t have any friends that are into mma. This is the biggest forum dedicated to discussing the sport so it’s the best place to discuss the sport I love. Forum is littered with a lot of poor takes which makes me want to stop sometimes. But there are some genuinely good, knowledgeable posters in there too.

Bleacher Report comments didn't really have much of a community and the site went full "Our website only exists for people to get our App," so I made an account here to further my need to feel validated by surrounding myself with idiots to feel smarter than I already am.

Ah, and probably talk about MMA too.
 
Joined- saw too many morons in the comments, had to join to mock them
stay- That's a great question
When I use- Like most other drugs, late at night and in excess

Seriously though, in between the (often fun) silly and stupid posts there are A LOT of very knowledgeable MMA fans on this site. The longer you're on, the more you recognize each other.

Originally the hype around Fedor/Crocop although I managed to lose the password to the 2005 account, had been posting about MMA on a pro wrestling forum previously.
 
About seven years ago I was starting to lose interest in MMA for whatever reason and started missing events (even though I didn't do so since 2005 or something). I started lurking in Sherdog and my passion for MMA gradually returned, mostly because of the sophisticated, well-written comments and overall erudition of the place 80s action movie style one-liners, shoop threads and funny coping by butthurt fans.

Originally I joined about 2006 or something, but couldn't remember my account when I made this one. Then an year or two ago I in fact remembered it, logged in, read some of my 2006 or whatever opinions, found out how sadly casual they were and opted to keep that account in the grave.
 
Found it 2006 when you could still buy pride and ufc DVDs in the stores like best buy etc. Looked up wanderlei Silva and found this lovely place. Had a couple different accounts never been banned or anything. Stay for the shoops!!! Use it almost everyday. Just lurking the ufc and boxing forums
 
Was lurking on the dog since like the 2006 and only joined up later cause i was getting annoyed not being able to see some images and shoops since it sometimes was locked off behind having a account to see them.

Im still here for the shoops and to tease @StonedLemur . Every time im away for sometime without posting, he comes running back to me like a lost puppy looking for his master.

Almost use it daily but hardly posts, im lazy okay. Also mostly because i like reading the dog when im in bed trying to fall asleep.
