Bouts are matched to this fighter on ID, never on name — 28 rows in the archive list Brad Tavares as one of the two fighters. The bout count here is a count of rows in this archive and will not always equal the career record above, which is a separate stored field. The database also holds an Elo rating for each fighter; it is a current rating that already contains the results below, so it is not published on this page.
