Let’s face it, without MMA databases and result sites, FightMatrix wouldn’t be possible. Thanks to these sources, and countless hours of database input, I feel its pretty safe to say that we probably have the best MMA database known to man. At the very least, we have the most bout division information, bar none, with nearly 13,000 bouts that have division classification.

Databases
Sherdog – The best database for getting big show results in a timely fashion and is also an invaluable asset in researching past shows. Probably tops in the all-around category.
MixedMartialArts – The best database for minor circuits, particularly those in the American midwest. They are also very useful, although not always accurate, in determing the pro/am status of a bout.
MMAUniverse – Their forte is western European results, and they do it well.
FighterGirls – Their female results are by far the best. They have no competition.
CombatRec – Useful only for the most obscure shows. Their accuracy isn’t the best but they serve an important niche.

Results
Sherdog – Again, their forte is posting the results of big shows, but they do surprise with obscure shows from time-to-time.
Japan-MMA – Super quick on posting results for Asian shows, big and small.
ShootoResults – An outstanding resource on everything Shooto.

We also have love for the few athletic commissions and organizations that keep up on posting official results. If anyone has any sites to add, please feel free to let us know. On my wish list, are sites that keep up on results from eastern Europe, Brazil, Mexico, and the Pacific Rim.
