Ultimate Sherdog Classics, Memes and Legends

Hey guys it might already be mentioned and I'm not sure if it was a real bet but does anyone remember in 2009 the guy that took out a 2nd mortgage or something outrageous to bet on Coleman over shogun???

And I'm sure goober Taylor has been mentioned who was big tims only fan or it WAS big Tim.

Lol omg I can see it happening here on sherdog. I don't remember that bet but Mark Coleman was famously quoted saying "don't ever bet the house against me!" after he beat Shogun in Pride iirc. So very possible.

And yeah where the hell is goober? I think he got banned?

He came back in a second iteration a couple/few years ago too
 
There was a thread where a guy took a pic with Phil Baroni and posted it only for Baroni to come into the thread saying the guy had bad breath or something. I remember ppl were shooping his hands smaller too, I think he may have mentioned in the OP that Baroni had big hands.

It killed me at the time, i think the TS is still around here too


edit: The thread and pic are gone but I was able to find Baroni's first post in the thread. It was posted by someone on another site.
Sounds made up.
 
I am legend. Ask Sam Alvey
 
Here is a random list of Sherdog classics and legends. Feel free to add more. Great ones will be added here. Please also give a brief summary and a link if possible.

Thanks to Homeless Infant part two is in the second post (i ran out of space).

Jim Cozad

Once upon a time Randy Couture was one of the most respected fighters in the world. He came out of retirement to defeat Tim Sylvia (then the current HW champion) and he held the LHW belt a couple of times. Then this photo came up from Randy’s highschool yearbook. His classmate Jim Cozad was also on the picture and instantly became a Sherdog meme avant la lettre. At one point Jim Cozad almost had godlike status. He was the new Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee combined. This guy actually bullied Randy Couture when he was young. We probably will never know if the legends are true, but that made Jim Cozad a true Sherdog Legend.

Just Bleed guy

October 17th, 1997, James Ladner made history by becoming the “Just bleed guy” during UFC 15. He flexed his muscles and represented basically all bloodthirsty mma fans from then on. Hated by mma purists, loved by everyone who loves violence. This true legend would later on be jailed for acting as a fence for stolen farm equipment. What made this moment even more classic: the Casino Magic Bay in St. Louis where this event took place doesn’t exist anymore. It was destroyed during hurricane Katrina. The just bleed guy might be the most iconic figure in MMA even today.

Uber Topicstarter


Also a true Sherdog classic without any doubt. Uber Topicstarter became famous when posting a picture where he dwarfed Frank Mir. Rumors are UberTS is actually Kristian van Kiel, but to us he will always be remembered as Uber Topicstarter. His current whereabouts are unknown. But legends say he is still dwarfing anyone he meets.

UberTS dwarfing Barnett because dwarfing Mir was not enough

I survived Yamma

Yamma was one of the worst ideas in mma ever (besides the MMA/armwrestling thingie). It was announced as a revolutionary way of fighting because of the tilted sides of the cage. It turned out to make takedown defence almost impossible and basically all fights became lay n pray snoozefests. The ring announcer seriously needed some meds and the commentary was so awkward it became funny. Yamma was such a big dizaster in every possible way that everyone who watched it needed a few weeks to recover. To get over this trauma victims would use the signature “I survived Yamma”, just to make sure relatives and friends knew they were ok.

Old Sherdog

Old Sherdog is just old Sherdog.. not much to say here…

Oldschool Sherdog promo videos

Back in the days Sherdog used to make videos promoting just a single fighter. There is a whole series with Bas Rutten, Ken Shamrock, Vitor Belfort etc. and they were amazing. A lot of violence, metal and blood. These videos were at one point in time the only mma on youtube. Let that sink in.



Met BJ at the airport

One of the most classic and also most defining threads on Sherdog ever. It was basically very simple: tom069 (still an active member) claimed he met BJ Penn at LAX airport in 2006. Sherdog was quick to find out he was full of shit since BJ was in Anaheim at that time. That is all there is to it, but it started hundreds of threads from people meeting fighters at the airport. Sherdog even used the “I met X at the airport” in their forum rules.. these threads are still forbidden an wastelanded.

The thread that started it all is still around:

Rich Franklins black eye

Not everyone will remember Rich Franklin (sad enough, he was an awesome fighter until Silva destroyed him twice in a row). Even more people will not remember the fact Rich ALWAYS had a black eye. His black eye at one point was more famous than Rich himself. Journalists used to ignore Rich completely and just ask the questions to his black eye. His black eye even had a Sherdog account. A true Sherdog legend without a doubt.

Sexyama

Even though a true star in his home country Japan (he is both a famous fighter and singer), his true fans are here on Sherdog. Forget your Sage mancrush, Sexyama is where it’s at. Even the most heterosexual alpha males feel some swelling after seeing a glance of Sexyama. Thanks to Sherdog Sexyama is now even his official nickname. #nohomo #maybealittle

Kenny Florian Quotes

Probably the most recent classic in this list. Kenny Florian wrote a piece about Dillashaw – Cruz (UFC fight night 81). It turned out he copied (stole) most parts of it from boxing analyst Lee John Wylie. Since then it is tradition to attribute historical quotes or proverbs to Kenny Florian.

“I did not have a sexual relationship with that woman” – Kenny Florian

“Ich bin ein Berliner” – Kenny Florian

Photoshoop / Shadface / Bispingface

This needs no further explanation. The two most photoshopped pictures EVERRR. Just google Sherdog photoshoop and there is enough material to ride the orient express and never be bored.

Groundhog expert

Because it was mentioned in this thread a few times i decided to add this one. I missed the thread completely, but it seems it went like this: guy posted a video where a groundhog made an (obviously editted) sound. Our fellow Sherbro Volund then replied with: "thats not the groundhog making that noise, seriously. is it?". Of course people laughed at him, and then Volund replied with the apparently classic reply:

"Fuck you guys, I'm no groundhog expert.

And if it's not the sound the ghog makes, then why is it funny? Could have put better sounds in there than people's names."

I lol'd. no idea how much a meme, classic or legend this became, but i added it anyway. Thread AND VIDEO OF SAID GROUNDHOG is here:

Shoop that Incredulous Cormier

As a Dutch native, i still have no idea what incredulous means, and i refuse to google it. Alongside Shadface and Bispingface this is probably the most shooped thing on Sherdog. The thread is a sticky and still alive after all these months. A true Sherdog classic no doubt.

The i just got married thread

Fellow Sherbro CrumBum married his girlfriend of 5 years in 2008. Even though he has a beautiful wife Sherdog decided it was time to roast him for it. The result was an epic thread with almost 100 pages full of insults. The original thread still exists, even though all pictures are removed. Thank god half of Sherdog still has the picture today for masturbation purposes.

I met Matt Hughes

In 2009 our fellow Sherdogger Unpassable (his account has been deleted now) met Matt Hughes. It is really hard to explain why this thread is a Sherdog classic, but it is. You just have to see the thread and feel it i guess.. or not.. Deserves a spot on this list.

Huge if true

Sometimes it's hard to say what items are real and what items are fake. If in doubt, and the news is important, Sherbro's can use "Huge if true". Sometimes it is not clear if news is huge, in that case we use "True if huge"

Disclaimer: this meme has nothing to do with Matt Hughes. He was actually a small little fella.

My friends say i look like fighter X threads (Anthony Pettis original)

A thread title that still occurs a lot on Sherdog, but the whole idea was started by fellow Sherbro RoninJin. And yes i have to admit, he actually looks like Pettis. The true gold, as with most classic Sherdog threads, is obviously in the comments.

The eggplant will salute other pigeons

Not the biggest classic but it is my thread so whatever. This is actually a true story: during the Weidman - Belfort weigh in things got heated and Weidman said something to Vitor but no one could hear what is was. My nephew actually can lipread so i sent him the video. According to him the following was said by Weidman:

"You are cheating, you have always cheated, you should *not visible* again. Don't pretend. The eggplant will salute other pigeons."

We still have no idea what Weidman ment with that.

Greatest moments in MMA history recreated in MS Paint

Way back in 2009 Sherbro Tooth and Nail came with the original idea to recreate historic mma moments in Paint. Everyone who ever worked with paint knows that is a tough job. The results were AWESOME to say the least. Since then this has been a Sherdog tradition. The original thread seems to have been deleted, but there is still plenty to enjoy.

Positive balance and the BJ Penn argument

Positive balance once was a prominent moderator in this forum. He had over 30.000 posts, something most of us can only dream about. He was also one of the biggest BJ Penn fans on this forum. Then one day he got into an argument with one of the posters about BJ Penn and became enraged and went full retard. He banned the user and Sherdog exploded. Because karma is a bitch Positive balance was then banned himself. It is unknown if he is still on Sherdog with a different account.

The "pic of me and my boys up in Jersey" thread

In 2006, Sherbro Marlboroman was hanging out with his friends right before UFC 56. With a pic like this more information is not needed. Classic thread with classic replies. Keep it guido.

Got into a fight at Walmart

In june 2007 Sherbro Doubled fought one of the most epic battles ever. Forget Robbie-Rory, forget Jones-Gustafsson.. a lot of things were going on:

"So we are in line at Walmart today, and this guy bumps into my achillies tendon with his shopping cart. I turned around and this s.o.b. is laughing at me. Not even a sorry. I told him to go back to Mexico and go pick some peppers. He got mad and called me a hillbilly. I was going to touch him with my jab, but the shopping cart was shielding him from my line of fire, so I picked up a bag of Skittles and launched it at his face.

He got out of the way, and the Skittles bounced off of this little girl's head. She started crying, and next thing I knew, this big black guy hits me over the head with a shovel. My son began to swing on him, and I got up and tackled the guy. I pulled down his pants and shoved a bag of skittles in his ass. Then I hit him in the cock with a pot of flowers.

The mexican guy thought it was pretty funny, so I threw him inside of his shopping cart and pushed him into a cactus. I didn't even pay for the shirt. My son and I just headed for the door. This old white guy at the door who only had one arm tried to stop us. My son shook his hand and I touched him with the jab. He went down before I could even throw the right.

As I was getting into the truck, this cop tried to put me in hand cuffs. I spun around twice and hit him with the deadly uppercut. My fourteen year old son started the pickup, so I jumped in the back and we sped home. It was a close one, but at least my son got a bigger shirt."

Rickson by armbar

At one point everything on Sherdog was Rickson by armbar. Every prediction of every fight was Rickson by armbar. The reason UFC bought Pride was Rickson by armbar. Chuck Liddell defeated Couture via Rickson by armbar. Rickson by armbar everywhere.

Needs more birds

I missed this meme, but since a lot of people said this thread needed more birds i gave this thread more birds. Also, the picture below needs more birds. We need more birds in general by the way. We all do.

The Alessio Sakara apocalyptic thread

On march 15, 2010, Sherdogger FStep (still active) decided it was a good idea to post te following on Sherdog about Alessio Sakara:

"is his roman warrior mistique just raising his stock in the eyes of superior opponents and upper level management

i'm not referring to whether you the sherdog poster buys into it offcourse, it's more in terms of his opponents and by upper level management i don't refer to dana, joe silva or even any high level promoters, the sponsorships are what drive these fighters to sweat in those black bags they always wear in the sauna, no chance can dana make someone do that, we as human beings are driven by the desire for wealth, social acceptance, and once we hit our mid 30s our legacy (i'm not quite sure of sakara's age). to me personally the latter would be meaningless as i do not buy into the afterlife aspect so who cares what people think after i'm gone but someone religious like fedor would for sure think otherwise which is why he trains so hard and i can't imaging anyone arguing the success of his labor, although i don't think sakara is anywhere near in the same boat

but lets stay on topic, what makes Sakara the threat that he is even though his skill set may be lightyears behind him"

When Sherdog pointed out his thread was pretty hard to understand he replied with:

"READ THE POST!!! i can't stand it when people give replies that have nothing to do with the topic, what do you just wanna get your post count up, grow up bro"

Even now, six years later, we have absolutely no idea if Allesio Sakara is apocalyptic.

Chael and Yushin's manly juices thread

In 2011, KingKongwar made a thread with this picture and asked people to photoshoop it. Then the first reply came from Melvin88. It wasn't a photoshoop:

"what you have there is an artful representation of ultimate manhood. I can almost smell the hard earned sweat on their bodies... licking it off and imbibing their manly juices whilst I softly caress their rock hard and sore muscles... playing with their toes and shit"

The rest of the thread was barren of photoshoops, but filled with replies to Melvin 88's reaction. We did a great job there.

Motivated BJ Penn

Not all fighters have the same skillset at any given time. So before making threads about fighters, be clear about the version we are talking about. Some classics on this forum are:

- Motivated BJ Penn
- Chuck with that look in his eyes
- Sealevel Cain
- Prime Fedor
- TRT Vitor
- Horsemeat Overeem
- Full camp Mendes
- Serious Anderson
- PRIDE Era Cro Cop
- Healthy Shogun

GF bought me an Ipad, then cheated on me

Amazing thread about a guy who is certain his girlfriend is cheating on him. Doesn't want to break up yet though, since he gave her a $3000 ring and she also bought him an Ipad he didn't got from her yet. His plan is to wait until he gets the Ipad and his ring back and then break up with her. Not only is the opening post really funny, the comment section comes with some interesting advice that lasts over 50 pages.

Yes, Sherdog is also there to give you advice when your girlfriend is cheating. Only learned about this one today and still reading.

Red Bull Armor

This is one of the classic threads from the time i just joined Sherdog (2007). Sherbro Snowbro decided it was a good idea to make a Halloween costume out of Red Bull plates. I've used the maximum of images in this thread, so you have to click to see it. A funny discussion ensues wether or not his costume is gay and wether or not other Sherbro's are assholes. 37 pages of fun :)

Absolutely no idea why though. Blame the people in this thread.

Besides these memes and classics the comment section is full of interesting threads and links. I can't add them all (also using the maximum ammount of images in 1 post), but enjoy browsing through them.

Special mention to Wadtucket. He liked every post in this thread. That's about all he ever did on Sherdog.

As always, English is not my native language. Sorry for all the f%ckups

I think "y'all really don't know who Eddie Alvarez is, do you?" needs to get added to this.
