Overview

Sherdog Fight Finder is the record database of Sherdog, a site active since 1997. It holds a page for every fighter with their full fight history: opponent, result, method, round and event.

It belongs to Sherdog, owned by Evolve Media LLC. Its data has been shared with ESPN through a content partnership, which shows its standing as a reference database for MMA records.

What you'll find

The search box takes fighter names, nicknames, events and referees. You can filter by weight class, from catchweight to super heavyweight, by gym or association, and by promotion.

Each fighter page shows the overall record and the full list of fights. For each bout you see the opponent, the result, the method, the round and the event. The most viewed fighters, such as Joshua Van or Timur Khizriev, are featured on the tool's landing page.

Fight Finder also lists upcoming events by promotion, with dates and main matchups. Recent listings include UFC 332 with Natalia Silva vs Wang Cong, and PFL Chicago 2, headlined by a Liz Carmouche rematch. You can browse the full calendar or a single promotion's schedule.

The referee search is useful for pulling up every fight a given official has worked, for example after a disputed stoppage. The gym filter shows every fighter from the same team, which helps when you want to see who trains together.

Why follow

Fight Finder answers a simple question: what is this fighter's real record? It is not limited to the UFC: the promotion filter and the full fight list let you trace a fighter's early career before they reached a major promotion.

It is a fact-checking tool. When a commentator mentions a win streak or an article cites a record, you can confirm it in seconds.

It also helps when a fighter changes promotion: the record follows them from one organization to the next on a single page.

MMA Official's take

We recommend Fight Finder to every fan who wants to check a record, prepare a prediction or learn about a newcomer's path. Bettors and writers get a quick, reliable source.

Start by searching for a fighter you follow, then click through their opponents to trace their career. Then use the calendar to get ready for the next card.

If you write about MMA, it is a fast way to confirm a record before you publish.
