Hello all. Not sure if many of you watch Mixed Martial Arts shows (such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship), but I have quite the collection. I was wondering what would be the best way to list the cast. I used DVD Profiler before when the other company was making it, then I got away from it, now I'm back again. When I would submit contributions before I just listed the fighters from the show & left the role blank since they were not acting. I would only include the actual fighters, not announcers or anything like that.

Also I was wondering the best ways to list someone (a fighter in this case) when they are better known by a nickname. Example: Tank Abbott. His real name is David Abbott, but is best known as Tank Abbott. Maybe list him as David Abbott & credited as Tank Abbott?

Thoughts are welcome.

For actors and crewmembers we are not as concerned with their real names as we are with their "most commonly used" names.  Why would it be any different for a fighter?  If he is nearly always credited as "Tank Abbott" why wouldn't you use Tank Abbot and not worry about his real name?

The way we normally deal with nicknames is to put them into the Middle Name field:

David / "Tank" / Abbott.
