What is Sherdog?

Sherdog is MMA's record book: its Fight Finder database holds the professional record of essentially every fighter in the sport's history — each sanctioned bout with date, opponent, event, method and round — maintained continuously since the sport's early days.[1]

How is it compiled?

From event results and commission records worldwide, promotion by promotion — the same role BoxRec plays in boxing: an independent, public, career-long ledger, with Tapology its principal counterpart.[1] [2]

Why does it matter?

When anyone in MMA — media, matchmakers, commissions — cites a fighter's record, Sherdog is the standard reference: the verifiable, dated documentation of a professional career.[1] [2]
