  jcs at fightmatrix.com please include opponent name, date, and weight division (weigh-in info if you have it).

  The problem with some midwest fights is that it’s not always clear whether or not the fights are sanctioned, so they (perhaps mistakenly) get assigned as amateur fights. Those Fulton promoted fights have always been a strange one for me.. as I’m pretty sure they are unsanctioned, though I assume Nate got paid for all these ‘pro fights’ and that’s why you’re calling them pro.

  Omari. What’s his pro record? I really need help if we are going to make his record complete. Would you mind providing an Email and we can reconcile what I have versus what is truly his pro record?

  Nate Williams is now 18-10, has won 9 out of 10 and has had to move up to 135 because hes cleared out the 125 division in the Midwest! On top of that he has 7 pro titles and is 10-3 at 125….. What does he have to do more to get a ranking lol

  The UFC’s upcoming four-man tournament should have a huge impact on these rankings. I’m looking forward to it.

Before asking where a specific fighter is ranked or why they aren't ranked: - Fighters who have not fought in 450 days or more ARE NOT RANKED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. - Use the "Fighter Search" option in the upper-right of the page. The fighter may be ranked in a different division. - Most of the divisions have multiple pages beyond this one. See the clickable ranges above and below the ranking table. Furthermore, we do not maintain the "next fight" data. This is gathered from Sherdog. Any issues regarding this data should be forwarded to them.
