[JonInMiddleGA]

I'm going to try something a little different for the beginning of the year rankings for our roster. We've made so many additions and have so many fighters strung out across the two feeder promotions that I'm going to try to combine the weight class rankings for our entire group into one giant bundle so you can get a look at the bigger picture. This will probably be an oversized post but I think it will really illustrate just how large the roster has become (with all the attendant challenges of managing it).

The second record listed for fighters is their mark in the main CSA promotion only
