    I think it’s hard to argue with sherdog being #1. They have been a mainstay for MMA news over the years. They have also demonstrated integrity when it came to the literature/articles on the site. Their radio shows have been the #1 form of MMA media for a while now. The diversity of the show’s host also allows for different perspectives on the same issues to be presented.

    No Brainer who was the #1 MMA Website. It is true with me when I sign on my the web the first mma website I log onto for the daily mma news is sherdog, and there Radio shows are buy in far the best mma radio shows. I learn so much knowledge about fighters,prospects,orgs,technique,etc from the Jordan Breen show then I anthing else mma related on the net, It’s amazing how much info Breen has in that ugly bearded mug of his.

    All argue with Sherdog being number 1… It’s the bridge for all MMA trolls. I only go there to see “pros picks”. It not the top MMA site.

    wtf??? Sherdog is terrible! first off their ugly website is stuck in 2002; their articles are awful with Thomas Rios disrespecting and bashing fighters – they don’t even have access to UFC events so you rarely see the content like videos and interviews which you do with MMAFighting.com who are far superior to Sherdog.

    Hell even MMA Weekly’s news and content is better than Sherdog. You rarely see any videos from them compared to what Ariel Helwani is doing. Their crappy radio show with that homo Jordan Breen is nothing like the MMA Hour.

    They may be the longest running site but are far from no.1.

I should point out that according to those at TKO that the ESPN/MVPW boxing deal is a revenue sharing agreement similar to the original AEW/Turner deal in 2019 and not a full paying media rights deal which Top Rank had and wasn't renewed.
