I know the UFC has been known to add wins to fighters records
2 recent examples that come to mind
1. Jon Fitch, going into the St. Pierre fight in the promos the UFC claimed Fitch had a record of 21-2. yet other sites had him at 17-2.
secondly
2. Rashad Evans before the fight vs Lyoto Machida in the hype videos the UFC claimed he had 18 wins. Yet other sites (s-dog for one) says he has only 13 wins
I've always wondered why the UFC did this, but now I see it again with the TUF fighters
take James McSweeney ... who fought last week for Team Rashad
the UFC lists his record as 12-4 .. looks pretty respectable http://www.ufc.com/JamesMcSweeney
yet other sites have him more in the 500. sub 500. range

**I just want to know why the UFC would change a record that drastically, and more importantly do the fighters know about this.
I wonder what McSweeney feels about being listed at 12-4, when he isn't even close.
to a certain extent I feel its disrespectful to the fighters to get their records wrong by that many fights.
