Which do you think is the all around best MMA site. Feel free to add other MMA sites in the question

mmafighting and Tapology are the best. I love the fighter stats on Tapology, better than anywhere else.

The picking mechanism here is something I've not come across before.  I'm surprised the other MMA sites have not adopted this.  It is so unique and keeps your interest.  It sheds light on whose insights are more incisive.  

Any thoughts on why no other sites have jumped on this?  Success normally breeds imitation, which is the sincerest form of flattery.

Also on sherdog if you disagree with someone, theyll challenge you to a fight and expect you to waste your money on a ticket just so you can go and fight them where they live.

@bill to answer your question on the picking thing and why other sites don't have this:  it's not an easy thing to build, and it's a lot more likely to build something that doesn't really work very well. 

for example, cagepotato.com introduced their fight picker about 2 years ago but it didn't work very well.  they shut it down.  same thing goes for UFC.com and their fantasy game - they shut it down.  i don't know if it's permanently shut down or if they will try again.

sherdog recently introduced a pick 'em feature, but they didn't build it themselves.  they paid FightMetric to run the system for them. that's good, because FightMetric does a good job and has some expertise in this.  had sherdog tried to build it on their own, it probably wouldn't work very well.  there's a lot of things that sherdog is good at, but engineering/programming is not one of them.

Tapology would be an 8 on a 1-10 scale and sherdog maybe a 4.5

Yeah, I think 8 is a very fair rating.  I might even be so inclined to give it an 8.5.

it's not exactly a new idea either MMAplayground has fight picks, rankings, forums etc everything that tapology has but they did it much better and are always looking for ways to improve it.  I never liked the layout of MMAplayground my self

Sherdogs mods are ******* jokes and there **** is so outdated....this site is pretty good but it wouldnt hurt to tweak a few things.  Overall i like this site more, its smaller community and pretty active sometimes sherdog has too many posts.

But sherdog and tap are two different types of websites with different reasons for people bieng there.  Sherdog is news based with a huge ass forum this is a place to pick fights with a decent sized forum.

we're tweaking every week!  sometimes small things, sometimes hidden things just to keep the site working as it grows. and then sometimes big things that stand out to you guys as new features.

it's a big challenge to figure out how to prioritize all the things we want to do on the website.
