Sherdog is the largest American website devoted to the sport of mixed martial arts.[1] The site is a member of the Crave Online network.

Created by photographer Geoff 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's editor-in-chief is veteran MMA journalist Josh Gross, and Sherdog.com features articles by Jake Rossen, Mike Sloan, Stephen Martinez, Jordan Green, and Andy Cotterill.

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 features TJ De Santis and Josh Gross. 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 its inception. Following UFC 71 Beatdown started airing live post-fight shows, named Beatdown After The Bell, a format that they anticipated continuing. 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, and the host for the show while Josh Gross was away, Jordan Breen, announced he would have his own show as well. This would continue a trend of having Beatdown after the Bell after major MMA events, as well as having a Sherdog Roundtable for UFC PPV events. Both The Stephen Quadros Show and The Jordan Breen Show commenced June 12, each with an hour-long format at the time. [2] The current schedule includes Beatdown and SDS on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the Jordan Breen Show on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the Stephen Quadros show on Tuesdays. Currently, only the Stephen Quadros show has an hour-long format, while every other show is regularly two hours.

Sherdog has teamed with ESPN to provide them with MMA content for their site. The deal includes ESPN sharing Sherdog's extensive Fight Finder database. [3] The deal would also include the Sherdog Radio Network being part of ESPN's podcast center. They have since been part of ESPN's podcast centre, providing new podcasts able to be downloaded every workday.
