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:
