Hey Guys,

I've noticed a lot of differences in the listed fight teams/affiliations between Tapology, Sherdog, and ESPN.  Which source do you feel is most accurate in your opinion?

Probably Sherdog, because they have dedicated staff who update  these things and I think Tapology relies on the community to do it via wiki updates which may or may not ever happen. I might be completely wrong. That said, even if Tapology was drastically inferior to Sherdog in this capacity, it would still **** all over Sherdog.

ESPN is fake news, Sherdog is for stale males who only drink sugary drinks, no water, and jack off everyday. then complain about fatigue. who will we blame today? how about God ?

Fighter gym affiliations are very hard to maintain and track. Some fighters change their gyms around a lot. If you really want to know a specific fighter's affiliation, perhaps the best thing to do is go check out their social media pages and see where it seems like they're training lately.

Otherwise there will be times that Tapology is more accurate, and times that Sherdog is more accurate, and times that Wikipedia will be more accurate. It's going to be kind of random.

Sherdog is usually more accurate at least for regional fighters. I write prospect articles and mention the team the fighter is training with. When I try to check Sherdog tends to seem more up to date although I don't triple check since IDK where to go for that.
