It's a fucking shame. it really is.
mma fans can only look at sherdog's system. and worst of all , 90% of them actually think that they're shit is "the" reference for all mma sources.

Believe it or not , even Fedor's record is not "complete".
They're not listing all his fights and I'm not talking about "amateur" fights here. I'm talking about "legit" fights , under mma rules.

Same goes for lots of fighters...

Fightfinder is very good. Boxrec has just as many flaws, and they can only list what is reported to them.

Name these fights you can't find. You always bring this up, but I have yet to see any legitimate, sanctioned MMA matches that are not on there, and if they aren't they quickly make the necessary corrections. Fedor claims the same record for himself that the Fightfinder shows.

boxrec is not 100% perfect but man , compared to sherdog's fightfinder...IT IS.
sherdog's system is fucking far from being complete.

hell , even [Only registered and activated users can see links]
does a better job for K1...but sherdog , (which is a predominantly a MMA site) can't fucking sort their shit out.

I don't give a shit if they won't list amateur fighters or judo , sambo , bjj , adcc fighters...it's not even the issue..the problem is that they're also ignoring some legit MMA fights...

The reason why I keep bringing this shit up is because I've seen mma fights on the net in which Fedor was participating , unfortunately I can't find them cause I do not have the name of his other opponents there's like 133 vids for fedor on youtube and i don't think anyone bothered to upload these vids before...

I think i have one of em burned on a DVD. If I find it ,I'll upload it so that you people can see what I'm talking about.

For example , I remember seeing a fight in which Fedor defeated a sambo/wrestler type opponent but it was under MMA rules , with a ref...and it wasn't "amateur" or some sort of underground type of shit..it was legit...

Well obviously we can't list all the fucking fights in mma history , but shit , i'm not asking for much...all im saying , is to have a site which is at least as professional as boxrec , or specialised like, boxrec.

cause sherdog's fightfinder certainly isn't.

You're not making a very good case here. Shit you have seen on Youtube but can't find is not a substitute for a legitimate, organized, somewhat sanctioned event that publishes official results. Boxrec has the advantage of a worldwide standardized set of rules upheld by world sanctioning bodies, anthing on there can be obtained in written record by contacting the WBC/WBA/IBF/WBO etc etc. MMA is a patchwork quilt of various rules, events, and locations that often occur under very shady circumstances. Sherdog has standards for an event held to qualify it for a professional MMA event, and Fedor beating some Lithuanian guy, whose name is unknown, up in the back of a bar in a location/date unknown, for $500 doesn't make the cut.

I know that but sherdog also listed fedor's "rings" fights did they not?

and we all know that "rings" is a fucking hybrid , not 100% mma. (compared to pride , ufc , cage rage or vale tudo in general)..it's fucking limited.

the point is...if they're listing "rings" fights...and if they're even listing "pancrase" fights...then they should also be adding these fights I'm talking about...

This isn't making sense to me. Just because you don't know who you are seeing in a video, you are blamming the accuracy and professionalism of fight finder? I am sure that there are boxing Hightlight videos out there in which you don't know everyone that you see. Do you blame boxrec for that? Hell, at least fightfinder has pictures with most of their known fighters, boxrec doesn't even have that to go by.

because if you look the screencaps one by one..you won't find it.
I've seen all of fedor's fights that are listed on his sherdog resume...I would've recognised it...

I can understand why they're not listing his judo or sambo fights...but i'm talking about a real MMA fight...I'm not delusional.

Fedor uses the same record for himself as fightfinder does, so obviously you are mistaken. Also, of course they are not going to list judo, sambo, wrestling, kickboxing, muay thai, ect... those are different sports, which can be found on their own accord. Fightfinder is only for mma, and I don't believe that Fedor has any sanctioned MMA events which aren't listed on fightfinder.

What does that tell you? Maybe they weren't properly sanctioned fights.

Also, the only fight that I know there is a question about, that isn't listed on Sherdog is a win by choke over Martin Lazarev.

Here is a shitty video of that fight.

As you can see, the fight wasn't normal. His opponent wasn't wearing gloves, and didn't even attempt a strike the entire fight. It must have been some sort of special rules fight, which wasn't sanctioned as a real MMA fight.

Shit , I can't access the video now for some reason...how about fedor? is he wearing gloves?

there's a few fights in which wanderlei silva has no gloves too...(in his vale tudo fights) and they're listed on sherdog

Fedor is wearing gloves, his opponent is not wearing gloves. Fedor is striking, his opponent is not striking. My guess would be that it was a special rules fight, in which the other man opted to not use gloves in order to be able to grapple better. However, by not using gloves, he probably wasn't allowed to punch.

I am sure, but you have to realize now that not everything is as it appears in a HL video. There are several spin off type events that really don't qualify as a real MMA fight. So, most likely whatever other fights you are thinking of, aren't actually MMA fights. On another note, I am sure that there are several MMA matches not listed on fight finder. Just as their are several boxing matches not listed on boxrec. It is impossible to track down and record every event that ever took place.

Ok , but they should at least do an effort for big time champs or at least Top 20 fighters. You obviously can't track down every single fights in any combat sports but when a name like nogueira or wandy or penn..etc is involved...it's not too much to ask imo.

I mean...seriously...
Ok...FORGET the unlisted fights....

This doesn't have any more fights listed for Fedor either, and neither does his website, I think you might just have seen a match you aren't familiar with.

You can only go on what the promoters give to you, especially on Shooto shows from the fucking 80s.

"Fat Guy" probably did not give a name to the promoters, or the promoters didn't give it to Sherdog.

Why are you on such a crusade against probably the most helpful tool for MMA fans out there?

Man why are you dudes jumping down his neck? He makes a valid point.I doubt many of you remember when Sherdog was a wreck of a site with random back yard brawls posted on it and the occasional pit fight.Now its a legitmate source for MMA.Its not the best in the world but something is better than nothing but it could certainly be improved along the lines of Boxrec.
