Thanks to the continual input of our dedicated fanbase of educated fight fans we now have an historical fighter ranking archive at our disposal!
Application 1: Check out the new option to view rankings by date in our Top 10 Fighters section. Ahhh it seemed like only yesterday that my man Chuckwagon was sitting happily atop the light heavyweight division.
Application 2: All fighters now have a profile page on MMAPlayground that shows their ranking information (when applicable) among other things. Here's some examples: Forrest Griffin's meteoric rise (ugh, I completely hate that Goldie-ism... sorry to use it), the ups and downs of Wandy in the LHW division, the slow decline of beloved CroCop, and "Cheech" Kongo's brief visit to top 10 heavyweight stardom (Tim Sylvia reference... sorry again!).
In other site update news, we're working on integrating an avatar bet interface to become an official part of our forums and wagering game. There's no actual game score to be gained, but the pride and fun of giving someone a silly avatar for a time is fun enough as many of the users in our MMA forums have discovered already.
As always, thank you for your support, ideas, input, and participation!
