Photo attributions

How we pick a photo: most images are the one linked from the fighter’s own Wikidata entry, where that entry must be a mixed martial artist whose name (and date of birth, when we know it) matches ours, and the Commons file must name the fighter and show one clear face. The rest were checked by hand: the file’s title, description or category names the fighter, the context matches (an MMA event, weigh-in, press conference or similar), the license allows commercial reuse and edits, and the fighter’s face is the main subject (group photos are cropped to the fighter). Fighters without a matching licensed photo show initials instead.

All photos are cropped to a headshot and toned (duotone and vignette) to match the site design. Those edits are ours and are shared under the same license as the original where the license requires it (CC BY-SA). 175 photos, last checked 2026-10-22. Spot a wrong photo or a credit problem?
