Fight records
If you add fights that haven't happened yet, comment them so that they don't show, as the fight record is only meant for fights that already happened. Secondly, don't put the N/A tag in them. TBMNY (talk) 22:07, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello I would just like to ask why this isn't allowed.

It isn't allowed because the records are specifically for fights that have already happened. Per WP:MMA consensus: "Never add future bouts. The purpose of the record table is to provide a quick account of a fighter's past career, not to speculate about his/her future. Upcoming bouts that have been officially announced can only be mentioned within the body text at the end of the Mixed martial arts career section, provided that they are notable (covered by reliable third-party sources.)"

But the announced fights are not speculative there fact.


 * Did you read all of it? It says very clearly "Upcoming bouts that have been officially announced can only be mentioned within the body text at the end of the Mixed martial arts career section". Also, please read this: WP:SIG, thanks. TBMNY (talk) 23:12, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

I still don't feel like I have been given a good justification on why there shouldn't be upcoming bouts. The boxing records show them, and I feel they can only help the fighter because if another person like me comes to check this page they'll see when is their next fight and could tune in to support them.

 * If you want to know who someone is fighting, it will be in their bio, but not their record. Take a look at Fabrício Werdum's page. At the end of the "Mixed martial arts career" section, it says who he's fighting. TBMNY (talk) 09:04, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
