In a remarkable Tapology first, a fighter is trying to remove a loss from their record by amateurishly photoshopping a random guy's head onto the original fight poster, and sending it to us as proof that he wasn't in the fight.

We can't stop 100% of fraudulent record-keeping in MMA, but if we catch you, the world will see it. Congratulations Sanjar Azhibaev, your fight page is now flagged forever for your lies and deceit.

Today we released a significant update to the layout of "event" pages at Tapology. These are critical pages for a lot of people, and any big modifications to them could cause a lot of frustration. But for many reasons it was time for a redesign. Here are some of the updates...

Not true, @campbellcombate . Tapology gathers data for all levels of combat sports, with no agenda. If there's fights, we try and record them. We don't have the @combateglobal schedule because it is withheld from us and our basic questions go unanswered. You can fix this.

@Grabaka_Hitman Awesome vid! But no chance we can enter that as 1 second. That would be the fastest MMA KO of all time. It was 3.5 seconds by our stopwatch from ref signalling fight start to ref getting in between to end it. So we've entered it as 3.

A few weeks ago we rolled out an updated design to the event pages on Tapology. One of the most frequent pieces of feedback we got was some users wanted to keep the fight card smaller so that more of it was in view at once. Today we've rolled out a toggle with 3 view modes.

Of Sanjar's past 6 wins, we have definitively found he was involved in stealing the identities of quality, inactive fighters so that his record would appear more impressive. When in fact he was beating up on anonymous tomato cans.

First and foremost was the design for people on their phones. The old design was almost impossible to use. The new design attempts to keep almost all the info you could find on the old design, but make it actually readable and usable on your phone.

@Grabaka_Hitman In our view it would be a disservice to the entire MMA community if we put this at the very top our list of "the fastest MMA fights of all time" just because some rando timed it wrong and/or thought it would be cool to call it as 1 second.

We did not previously have a photo of Kislica and we were not on the lookout for this kind of deception. Once the fake photo was posted to Kislica's page, Sanjar's team then passed the page on to the WEF promotion so that the fake Kislica could be signed to fight Sanjar.

With a finish in tonight's Bellator main event, it will represent the first Bellator card since Bellator 168 in 2016 to not have a single fight go to decision. That event in Italy only had 5 fights. The only other Bellator with all finishes was Bellator 36 in 2011 (7 fights).

The fighters raised their arms and flexed as the cage announcer called out their names, accomplishments, and nationalities. It was all BS. These were not the Kyrgyzstan fighters at all. We went and found all the obscure footage of their previous fights and compared it.

In @BellatorMMA tonight we saw an 11 second submission followed immediately by a 17 second KO. That got us thinking, is 28 seconds the fastest ever pair of *back to back* fights in a major MMA organization? We had to write a custom script to find out...
