I love this site. I was wondering if there would be any way to add the fighter's weight's. This option is very important when you are looking to match someone up.

Jamie - we generally enter weights when we have a contemporary newspaper / magazine report. No weights usually mean it has come from a record book of some description. I agree with you the weights help to match up fighters with the same or similar names. I hesiatated to put them in at first because they braek up the record but I think it helps guarantee accuracy. I'm glad some one else wants them. Colin.
