Highest ranking now displayed in Historical Ranking search

Posted on October 3, 2011 by Oleg

We’re on a roll with new features today – thanks forum member kedbecker for this suggestion!

In our fighter search, you can now quickly look up the highest a fighter has been ever ranked in our generated historical ranking sets. For example, if you search for ‘Sakuraba’ you can quickly see the highest ranking for one of MMA’s pioneers: Kazushi Sakuraba was ranked #1 Middleweight in October of 1998 (in case of ties, the heaviest weight class and the most recent ranking set are shown).

“Next Fight” now displayed on current rankings

“Keep an Eye Out For…”

Posted on September 28, 2011 by Jonathan

[#87MW] Eddie Arizmendi (15 – 4 – 0) is on a 9 fight win streak (7 by stoppage). Not all of his victories have been over fighters with great records; however, 2 that stand out in this current streak are:

2nd round KO via punch over rising middleweight [#120MW] Jason Norwood (11 – 3 – 0) in July 2011
3rd round unanimous decision over [#64WW] David Hulett (18 – 9 – 0) in September 2009

Out of Arizmendi’s 15 victories, only 2 have gone to a decision. In fact, 17 of his 19 professional bouts have been stoppages. Arizmendi last lost in June 2008 to UFC fighter [#109WW] Seth Baczynski (14 – 6 – 0) via 2nd round submission (triangle choke). The 25 year old Tuscon, Arizona native will attempt to extend his win streak to 10 when he faces [#272MW] Arthur Guseinov (8 – 2 – 0) on October 14th at M-1 Challenge 27.

[#55LW] Alexander Sarnavskiy (15 – 0 – 0) is one of the hottest young prospects developing in Russia. Sarnavskiy, 22, has already racked up 15 consecutive wins (since his pro debut in December 2008). In 2011 alone, Sarnavskiy has won 3 bouts with choke based submissions. Within the last year, his victories include:

1st round rear naked choke on lightweight [*] Marcio Cesar (14 – 6 – 1) in August 2011
1st round triangle choke on featherweight [#114FW] Douglas Evans (13 – 9 – 0) in May 2011
2nd round rear naked choke over lightweight [#314LW] Beau Baker (8 – 5 – 0) in March 2011
Rear naked choke in 0:43 of round 1 over lightweight [*] Arsen Ubaidulaev (8 – 4 – 0) in December 2010.
TKO via spinning back fish and punches in 0:14 of round 1 over [*] Victor Kuku (8 – 8 – 1) in October 2010.

Sarnavskiy is a definite finisher, going to the cards only twice in 15 starts. Currently toiling on the Russian MMA scene, it is time for Sarnavskiy to come to the U.S. and ply his trade against higher caliber opponents. Can he continue his winning ways against tougher competition?
