A new feature available on the site is fighter compare (found *here*). This feature will let you compare fighters careers head to head.
The main parts of fighter compare are:
Rating Compare
This shows the current and max ratings for both fighters in addition to their one year and three year mods and their strength of schedule.
Stats Compare
This shows the wins, losses, draws, NCs, KOs, subs, Decisions, and unanimous decisions for both fighters. It also shows the percentage of these numbers in terms of overall fights/wins.
Fight Comparison
This shows head to head fights between both fighters. It also shows all common opponents for the two fighters.
Possible Problems
I’ve tested the page a lot and have had others look it over(thanks!), but it’s possible we missed something. If you run into any issues please let me know.
One known issue is that the auto suggestions can be a bit slow. That is due to the web server the site is currently hosted on and an attempt on my part to make the best of it. In most cases simply typing one extra character or typing slightly slower will make everything work properly.
Examples
Here are a few random examples to get you started…
Anderson Silva And GSP
Here we see GSP with a slight lead in current and max rating. A better one year mod, but a lower three year mod(serra loss…uhh FTL lol). Additionally, GSP has a higher strength of schedule, but I think most knew that.
Looking at the stats we see more wins for anderson, but a higher win percentage for GSP. We see more (t)KOs for anderson and a higher (t)KO%, and GSP has both subs and sub percentage.
Both have five decisions, with GSP having a single split (penn).
They have no head to head fights and share no common opponents.
I think it’s safe to say that both are amazing athletes who have had fantastic careers, but I’m sure some will try to use GSP’s current 3 rating point edge as definitive proof that he rules and anderson drools. *shrugs*
Fedor And Nog
Fedor has higher current and max rating. However, nog has the edge in strength of schedule, one year mod and three year mod.
Fedor has fewer wins, but a significantly higher win percentage.
Nog has the edge in sub victories (19 to 15), but the overall sub percentage is little more than a point different (52.78% to 51.72%).
Head to Head we see the two wins for Fedor and the one NC.
We see 8 common opponents including crocop, zulu, schilt, herring and sylvia. We also see TK on the list who fedor is 1 and 1 against and whom nog has a draw against.
Matt Hughes And Fedor
I know, I know, WTF…The reason for this one is because they actually share a common opponent. This is one of those “trivia”/”amusing” type of things I enjoy finding. Five bucks to the first person who knows the answer before looking and sends me a self addressed stamped envelope. 8)
And then???
No and then~!!!
Go play around with it. Look at rashad and forrest or penn and gomi or herring and sapp. *shrugs* If you have issues please let me know. If there’s additional information you’d like to see let me know. If you find other interesting results, definitely let me know. 8)
