I have a problem with them reporting it last week when they have since then clearly showed that even they themselves didn't fully trust the sources they based the report on in the first place. That is why we've seen it reported AGAIN as breaking news over the past 48 hours, once again citing unofficial sources. If you don't have full trust in your source, don't report it. If you report something without having full trust in your source, it shows you jumped the gun. This is fairly common in journalism when it comes to giga-news like this.

Everyone would have just trusted Sherdog when they reported it two weeks ago. If it was anyone other than CroCop there wouldn’t be this degree of speculation.

I've never seen them post rumour and speculation before. The one thing they've gotten wrong was the Matt Hughes retirement thing, and Josh Gross says that they were just reporting exactly what Matt said.

Good God I'm so tired of sites jumping the gun to be first to announce the Cro Cop news. Tape delay from earlier in the day, as usual.
