Still, if they keep fighting, their records will continue to be fleshed out. And over time, we'll continue to add info where possible, such as fighter photos, etc.
But in order to be truly successful picking the regional ammy shows, you need to do your own research, like the others said. And Tapology's fighter pages are set up in such a way that it makes your research easier, since we've got links to the other major databases in there already.

No.
Sometimes a site contributor will add a fight from youtube, but that would be on the "bout" page, not the fighter's individual page.

For instance the events that are included this week will be UFC, Bellator and Cage 23 (a Finnish org that has some quality fighters on it, now most of the guys here not a lot of people would know but I think most have a record with at least 2+ fights which helps you predict their fights a tad better a long with info on their camps, style and past achievements.
One of the priorities of that league is they try to pick the events that will have the best coverage so you get to watch the fights whether it's PPV, legal stream or it's on cable/satellite. That helps you get to know the fighters in other orgs.
The other thing is experience, a lot of these guys I would never have known if it weren't for this website, I'd predict one of their fights and a few months later they'd have another and I'd be able to predict that. Some of these guy I have predicted up to 6+ times. Now with the feature on the right of a fighter's page that shows you how many times you have predicted their fights correct or wrong, that helps too.
For the most part it includes a lot of factors though, fighter experience, fighter base (wrestling, BJJ, major achievements such as legit black belts or a wrestler division 1 wrestler etc) takedown defense, submission defense, striking defense, who they have fought and beat or lost to, heart, chin, endurance and many other things, I base my prediction's on many of those things and how the fight could play out based on those.
