    When a champion is fighting a challenger (example being Mike Tyson vs James Douglas) his name is first on all adverts, in record keeping, articles that will be written use the format, and on down the line. My question is if there is any type of protocol to follow in the official titling of a fight between two non champions? Does the guy with more fights get to have his name first? I am just kind of OCD when I download fights and title them, I like them to be titled as correct as possible. Same with my music collection.

    I have some problems to say the least.

    The 'name' fighter gets billed first in non title fights.

    If you are downloading fights that have already ocurred, just put the winner's name first.

    Unfortunately, if OCD is something I would receive a diagnosis of, it most certainly wouldn't be based upon over cleanliness.

    Right on, but i was more curious about how it is determined prefight. I realize it is absolutely unimportant for fans really, I just am always curious about ridiculously inconsequential trivia type info.
