Why do professional MMA fighters post on Reddit and not here?

[original doom]

i bet they dont post because they already have anonymous established accounts.

 

[original doom]

theres no way conor never posted on here.

 

[Credo]

I think it´s very intimidating for a pro fighter to come here, where the real experts of MMA and fighting in general are.

Pro fighters may be good with their hands in the cage/ring but when it comes to deep knowledge of technique and
history of martial arts, they often doesn´t know much.

And if they try to be smartasses on us, we can just GIF them up in no time.

 

[Nathan LaMontagne]

Probably mentioned but there used to be tons!

Show of hands on who remembers the Ask the Fighter forum?

and way further back than that, who remembers Tank drunkposting a ton?

also the back and forth between Bas and Jason Delucia.

Good times, good times...

What are you talking about fighters not having knowledge of technique. You think we a bunch of hollow coconuts only throw hands?

How Reddit treats fighters

How Sherdog treats fighters

 

[RonMachineGunJhun]

^ pretty much

 

[loisestrad]

Are you high sir? The top comments on Reddit are usually some joke that has been beaten to death, resurrected and beaten to death again.

Would never happen on Sherdog...!!!

 

[Zanderlini]

There used to be a few back in the day but sherdog community was toxic to them.

These tards even ran off SamboSteve, the nicest mofo in the sambo game.

 

[THEfightsAREfixed]

Because Reddit is a way bigger platform. Also, sherdog is notoriously toxic, one only needs to spend about 5 minutes here to see that.

Not gonna lie you sound like a bitch

You're the last survivor!

Can't find your fight against pete spratt anywhere online. That was a terrific win.

Cheers.

 

[The Bloody Nine]

Because they're ducking me.

 

[Normot]

Sherdog is a bunch of neck beards acting like reddit is full of nerds... Yeah... Real street tough guys post on obscure forums...

 

[Black Paladin]

Maybe if they clean their diets up and get in shape we would let them.

Maybe if ownership/management clean up the forum and get in shape, they would come.

They lurk but are afraid to post anything.

 

[r-harper-1]

Sherdog freely allows fighter bashing now ....well you still can’t bash GSP, but most are fair game

 

[Shaddows]

After reading Ben Askren’s AMA thread on r/MMA, it got me wondering why many professional fighters love to post on Reddit and are not shy to reveal their identity.

Sherdog is one of the oldest and largest active forum and it has massive resources so every fighters know what Sherdog is but why won’t they post in here?

haters.
That's your simple answer.
