Red Corner Blue Corner[edit]

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm missing something (I'm just a common user) but the table of fights have RED CORNER and BLUE CORNER, but all the winners are being put in the left hand column (RED CORNER), so the red/blue corner headings no longer make sense? I didn't want to change anything myself in case I have misunderstood something but perhaps someone with more knowledge can help.

You are absolutely correct, it does not make sense. Ryziun (talk) 18:08, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed - Red/Blue Corner titles should be removed and replaced with "Winner" and "Loser". The Red Corner fighters did not win every single fight. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.121.153.89 (talk) 12:13, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Prose in the article[edit]

For those of you who don't monitor the MMA WikiProject or the AfD discussions going on about MMA events, there is currently a concern that many MMA articles don't comply with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, particularly WP:ROUTINE and WP:SPORTSEVENT. I am attempting to add "well sourced prose" to event articles, such as this one, so that they comply with those guidelines. I have included prose which discusses the background of the fights themselves, the history between the fighters, and what has led up to the fights that are expected to be on the card. This prose is sourced. Removal of this information without explanation can be construed as being un-constructive, particularly when it results in the article moving away from Wikipedia guideline compliance. If you have concerns about this well sourced prose, please discuss it here (or at the very least, leave an edit summary to explain why you are making potentially un-constructive edits). --TreyGeek (talk) 22:40, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
