Sherdog.com is now linked to ESPN.com

[Quil]

Not so sure this is a good thing. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's not...I'm glad that ESPN is starting to cover MMA, but I don't think that Sherdog.com is exactly the best spokesman to represent MMA to the masses, especially on such a large scale as ESPN. Would've much rather seen them go with MMAweekly.com. I can see it now...a random sportsfan surfing ESPN.com says "Hey, I've been hearing about this MMA thing and the UFC/PRIDE...let's check out this link." Then they end up in the Off-Topic forum....yikes.

If you go to ESPN.com, and click on the "more" tab on the right side of the toolbar, sherdog.com is at the bottom.

Yes!!! and FVCK !!!

Good that MMA will get coverage

Bad that it's from Sherdog.

My sentiments exactly.

Sherdog has the best MMA news around, don't confuse www.sherdog.com with www.sherdog.net (forums), they are considered two seperate sites but I see what you mean.

No, I know there is a difference. And maybe it will be a good thing since you have to actually navigate your way to the forums from the front page. I like Sherdog's news and FighterFinder a lot...I guess it's just the forums that give me worry.

All publicity is good publicity!!!! I'm sure ESPN would have loved to get with UFC/Pride, but I'm sure Zuffa's contract with Spike didn't allow that, so now they are going with the next popular in the 18-34 male bracket.

The only problem with ESPN is they waited too long to attach themselves with MMA and missed the boat with Zuffa.
