Whats the most fights youve ever seen someone have in a calendar year?
Jamie Quinn had 26 fights in 2019, will come close to that again this year...he Has 150 fights in 8 years averaging about 19 fights a year (with a pandeic in the middle of his carrer...). Anyone else cranking out those kinds of numbers?

I remember Graham McGrath doing 30, I think Buckley did it too.
I reckon Kristian Laight must have done a lot.
Saying that these days there are a lot of journeyman racking up numbers quickly, I think there is more opponent work about and a lot doing 4x2s
Buckley did a lot of 6 or 8x3s

I've got my numbers wrong, they didn't have that many
