We try to avoid "Jr" in a name whenever possible. Also, signs like a full stop in a fighter's name used to collide with system software, although, with the update to v4, I don't know if this is still the case. :TU:

I don't think this is a situation where you can avoid updating his name. If you leave it at Jose Benavidez, this causes confusion with his father who is a trainer with the same name. He is credited as Jose Benavidez Jr throughout the internet.

Will you please update his name and exclude the period? This is very important for informational consistency. "Jose Benavidez Jr" is how his display name should read as this is the name he goes by publicly, not just his full name.

Please let me know your thoughts.

My thoughts don't count, it's up to an editor from USA or to John to make the change, sorry. Although I may be a global editor, I can not change things in every existing country unless told so. We have a lot of US editors, I'm sure someone will address this issue. Have a nice day, sir. :salut:
