You really should delete that section outright. Sherdog's records go back much further than 1998, even for much more poorly documented foreign fighters. Rickson Gracie, for example, has fights listed as far back as 1980. He may have had a good amateur career or something (doubtful- Mr. Ritch has a reputation of being one of the worst all time), but it is absolutely inconceivable that 50 full professional fights are missing from ANYONE. Sounds like someone is trying to inflate their own record to me <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/24.11.90.1|24.11.90.1]] ([[User talk:24.11.90.1|talk]]) 04:57, 23 July 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

I deleted the Missing Records section. Given that there's [I]absolutely 0[/I] evidence he ever fought before 1998, I don't think anyone will mind. |

This article reads like Shannon wrote it himself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.64.111.170 (talk) 03:57, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
-->I will be undertaking the daunting task of fixing the record on this wiki entry. I will be using Sherdog's fightfinder to compare the records and see what needs fixing. This may take a number of days so please be patient. Dachknanddarice (talk) 17:19, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Shannon's fights before 1998
Someone has put in this entry that because there was no internet around 1998 (which I don't know how you can claim the internet only started in 1998, but I digress), that Sherdog has no record of Shannon's fights before then. They also claim that there are nearly 50 fights missing and that Shannon won most of them. Someone also added this "made up" record of missing fights into the infobox. No offense to Shannon but looking at his record, if he does have 50 more missing fights, I doubt that he won almost all of them.
I see that someone has asked for a reference but none has been given. In lieu of this, I've changed the infobox to only include the ACTUAL recorded fights listed from Sherdog and anywhere else I could look up Shannon's fight record. However, in the interest of not stepping on anyone's toes, I left the reference to Shannon's missing fights and put a note in the first recorded fight that mentions that it was the first fight that seems to be researchable from the internet.
If anyone can point me to an internet link that proves Shannon's fights and record before the first one in 1998, then feel free to add the reference and change the record. Otherwise, I think it's best if we stick to what we can prove (via the internet) rather than mess up records and infoboxes with purported fights that we cannot research and keep the record discrepencies to footnotes within the article.
If anyone takes umbridge with this, please let me know, I'm willing to listen. Dachknanddarice (talk) 00:50, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
