Level up

24 cards moved

Every card on this page is a percentile against the whole roster, so the only way to know what a night did to one is to rank the roster twice — as it stood the morning of the card, and again once the results were in. 37 bars were won across this card and 46 given back, and 3 fighters earned cards for the first time.

  1. Baisangur Susurkaevwonfirst card

    Three fights is where a rate stops being an accident, and this is the night he reached it. So this is his first card rather than a changed one — there is nothing yet to compare it against.
