Ranking Filters Enhancements
We’ve enhanced our rankings by adding a couple of new filter features:
- Team Affiliation
- Age Range
- And for all you promoters and matchmakers out there, added ‘Not Scheduled’ to the Next Fight filter, to quickly view the ranked fighters with no known scheduled fights.
For example, you can now view all the heavyweights in the American Top Team camp:
http://www.fightmatrix.com/mma-ranks/heavyweight-265-lbs/?TeamFilter=American+Top+Team
Or, all American welterweights who last fought outside of UFC and have no known scheduled bouts:

Or all UFC lightweights under 30:

The possibilities & combinations are (nearly) limitless!
