Cool think I did this right. And yes, definitely saw some dated stats. Just finished up updating some PFL guys. Poor Brendan Loughnane had some of the worst stats I seen in the game while irl hes in the middle of emerging as a possible frontrunner to win the tourney lol.

Heres some of the top of my head notes on things I changed from the April 2021 MW update since it doesn't include just stat adjustments, incase you wanna make your own changes from what I did:
--TON of stat adjustments across plethora of fighters, mainly from UFC, Bellator, PFL, and a little bit of One, and a little bit of random prospects I know as a hardcore fan that weren't doing well on my first playthrough (off top I think of Roberto Soldic and Danny Sabatello)
***Besides stat adjustments to subjectively more accurately reflect real life, you'll notice I gave A LOT of fighters Escape Artist to reflect the modern MMA meta of working back to your feet when taken down. Also, in my one playthrough, I noticed top guys in lesser orgs weren't getting booked. I gave basically all of those guys All Comers and Fearless for playthroughs that don't require Fantasy Booking turned on.
--Inflated lucrativeness of many Regions. Based this off places with stadiums. For example, I think Texas was like 80%? I boosted to 100% cause if UFC ever does major event at Cowboys Stadium it'll be extremely profitable. Shame public perception only matters toward regulation and not general public perception as it would've made an interesting contrast. Anyways, good thing you can import individual sections, incase this isn't liked.
--Updated all UFC, Bellator, One, PFL, LFA, KSW, ACA, event results up til yesterday. Really the only thing missing from this month is last night's One event and tonight's PFL, which i'll get around to this weekend.
--In my first and only playthrough I noticed feeder leagues like LFA either signing fighters exclusively, or the "Its been less than 6 months" thing getting in my way of signing prospects. I've made LFA and CFFC child orgs under Corporate Relationships to circumvent this when playing as UFC since its commonplace putting LFA champs and fighters on Contender Series.
--Minor adjustments to some teams. I'm likely to just add Trevor Wittman under team and put Rose, Gaethje, and Usman there with no visitors lol but unfortunately not part of this.
--Added Weidman's leg injury
--Added some 2020 End of Year awards
--Friggin Frank Trigg and Chris Leben reffing all my fights in my first playthrough lol so adjusted popularity of the actual refs you see in UFC in hopes it changes that lol (haven't started New Game to test this yet though)
Think thats everything. Let me know if you like it. I think if I play consistently, which is likely, I'll just update and add fighters myself from here and just import the rest. Unfortunately I noticed you can do that AFTER putting in event results as the month went on or I wouldn't have bothered with that and just waited lol.
Question: Does Maxicheezestick and anyone else (if there is anyone) who contributes to the monthly updates list characters added anywhere? I think before I start a new playthrough thats something i'm going to work on next, and would definitely like to make sure i'm keeping up with the updates if I can on adding new ppl. Also, to him/them and anyone else who cares, this guy makes it kinda of easy:

Don't even have to watch tape if you don't want to, as he lists their accomplishments and skills in Prospect articles. Gonna work on adding the TUF cast ASAP
