History

Created by photographer Jeff Sherwood in 1997, Sherdog features MMA news, individual records of fighters, reviews and previews of MMA events, interviews with fighters and referees, user forums, and original radio programs. Sherdog's Fight Finder is an extensive reference database of professional fighters, bouts, and MMA events. Sherdog. com features articles by Jake Rossen, Mike Sloan, Tim Leidecker, John Lee, Stephen Martinez, Jason Nowe, Tony Loiseleur, Jordan Breen, Greg Savage, Brad McCray and Andy Cotterill. Former editor-in-chief Josh Gross left Sherdog in April 2008.

Sherdog is also home to the Sherdog Radio Network, an internet-only sports talk network featuring Sherdog writers and staffers; Greg Savage and Jeff Sherwood host The Savage Dog Show (SDS), and The Beatdown featuring TJ De Santis. The radio show, previously released solely as podcasts and pre-taped shows, went live in two-hour time slots in 2007, and has not gone back to its previous format since that time. Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century. Following UFC 71 Beatdown started airing live post-fight shows, named Beatdown After The Bell, a format they have since continued. UFC 71 Liddell vs Jackson was a Mixed martial arts event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Their inception show contained a major announcement - Stephen Quadros would be joining the Sherdog Radio Network with his own show on Tuesdays with co-host Aaron Crecy. Stephen “The Fight Professor” Quadros is an American broadcaster specializing in play-by-play and color commentary for the combat sports genre on cable pay-per-view and DVD Jordan Breen too announced he would have his own show and would continue Beatdown after the Bell following major MMA events, as well as having a Sherdog Roundtable before UFC PPV events. Both The Stephen Quadros Show and The Jordan Breen Show commenced June 12, each with an hour-long format, but Stephen Quadros left Sherdog Radio Network in 2008 citing his schedule could no longer accommodate it. Events 1381 - Peasants' Revolt: in England, rebels arrive at Blackheath. The Jordan Breen Show, however, has been sustained heartily by the Breeniacs, as Jordan himself refers to them.

Sherdog has teamed with ESPN to provide MMA content for their site.
