Talk:List of current UFC fighters

Inactive Section

Does anyone think it would be a good idea to have an inactive section for people like (Spencer Fisher, Georges St-Pierre?) Lukejordan02 (talk) 04:15, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

It would be too hard to keep up with. LiberatorLX (talk) 12:06, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Strikeforce records under Zuffa ownership.

Since we list WEC records under Zuffa ownership as part of the UFC record, we should do the same for Strikeforce records. I'm going to work on doing that. It will be a new thing for 2015.

Personally I don't like the idea of showing a "Zuffa record" "or a "Zuffa and ultimately-bought-by Zuffa record" as part of a UFC page. I would wack anything that mentions Zuffa, or requires Zuffa to be mentioned. Wickorama (talk) 04:55, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Should it be GBR or ENG?

I have discussed this subject elsewhere but I thought I should bring it here. Why are British fighters not held to the same standard? When they are listed on List of current UFC fighters. English fighters are listed as GBR but Joanne Calderwood is listed as SCO I assume Americans are unaware the Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish are British too? Why the inconsistency?

Alphabetizing "de la" names.

I've been trying to fix the alphabetization and capitalization, and keep getting reverted.

Here is something explaining that "de" doesn't count as D, for Chris de la Rocha (not "De La") and Mike de la Torre (also not "De La").

One belongs at R, one at T.

Clear? InedibleHulk (talk) 08:39, July 6, 2015 (UTC)

With Mike De La Torre his last name is De La Torre, not first name Mike De La... No edit war please. I am trying to fix the mistakes you made. Discuss here but no edit war. 72.187.46.255 (talk) 08:50, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

His name last name is De La Rocha, not first name Chris De La. 72.187.46.255 (talk) 08:53, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

The source beside his name in Heavyweights says it's "Chris de la Rocha". So does Sherdog. So it's the same as the "Zayas, Maria de" example above. Do you have anything saying "De La"? Mike de la Torre gets it both ways in the sources, but this guy is far more unanimous. InedibleHulk (talk) 08:59, July 6, 2015 (UTC)

We will find out when he gets added to UFC.com 72.187.46.255 (talk) 09:11, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

In the meantime, his wife would know. And his official website. Why wait? InedibleHulk (talk) 09:17, July 6, 2015 (UTC)

Fixed so the pages shows total number of fighters again.

Hopefully it is a good improvement, I think it is. 72.187.52.138 (talk) 11:10, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
