Nice..

Although that asterisk is a bit disconcerting.

I've never heard of Oliveira

but he has two wins over someone named “Big Big”…that’s gotta boost him up the P4P rankings ;)

I was going to make a similar remark. Just another reason why Fight Finder, while a really useful tool, can’t really be considered a definitive source.

One of Big Big’s wins came against Paulinho Paulinho. That same card apparently also featured Pedro Pedro, Binha Binha, Edinaldo Edinaldo, Chicao Chicao, Carlos Carlos and Bam Bam.

Is that a quirk of Sherdogs system in that it needs a first and last name? If it was, then perhaps the Brazilian fighters that go by a single name have their names duplicated in the system.

good card but does anyone know why noguiera isn’t on this card, Affliction have really dropped the ball with him you have arguably the best LHW outside of the UFC with a name that will carry recognition amongst casual fans and they have buried him on two undercards
