Finally Brad McCray speaks

I tried to e-mail Sherdog and ask them what happened to Brad and they did not answer my e-mail. I just found this on another MMA site. If this is true I just lost a lot of respect for Sherdog.

That's messed up. Sherdog could've really used someone who knows what the hell they're doing, too. This site has terrible editorials, the forum is constantly fucked up, and other sites always break stories first.

Don't wanna get too out of line here, but sherdog really needs to upgrade its servers at the very least. If they're going to be providing content to a site like ESPN.com, they can't be down during peak traffic moments like on Saturday night. There was a link right on the front page of ESPN.com to sherdog, but it timed out all night.

No, Sherdog just waits until they have CONFIRMED sources they don't go printing stories the moment they hear some gossip

Try listening to Beatdown radio network. The McCray situation has been discussed. While I am no expert on how Sherwood handles things...there are many details that are left out when only hearing Brad's side of the story. J Breen also went on a radio show recently (not on Sherdog) and gave some very interesting details. The bottom line is that there is a whole lot more to the story that you or I may realize.

I enjoyed Brad on the radio, in the limited window I heard him.

Obviously, an editor's job is far more encompassing though, so I can't intelligently comment on anything further...

This is merely a suggestion. Please use the forum's search function (type "McCray"). When you do, you will find this thread:

Breen on McCray Firing.

When the 7/19 podcast for MMA Nation becomes available, you should listen to Breen's interview.

Thanks for posting that link. I couldn't remember which show he spoken on. Good find....

That's what Sherdog claims, but unfortunately, the vast majority of stories on other sites turn out to be true and are reported much earlier than Sherdog. Also, when news is just a rumor, mmaweekly makes a note of that.

Of course I believe there's probably more to the story. The fact remains, however, that this site needs all the help it can get and McCray was well-qualified. I like the amateurish nature of some of the stuff on this website, but I'd be embarrassed by some of it, too.

EDIT: If he wasn't well-qualified, then that's fine that he was let go. The idea that somehow Loretta Hunt and Sherwood together could handle it hasn't yet panned out though. Again, look at the quality of the articles and timeliness of news.
