I've just got used to it! Obviously I prefer the British way as I think it makes more sense going date/month/year going in order from shortest to longest but I've learnt to live with it! It's the same with American spellings and American terms that are different as well such as pants = trousers, cell phone = mobile phone, soccer = football etc. By the way, we call your version of football "American Football".

Update to my update: it has come to my attention that #2 Tim Boetsch has retired quietly, so everyone else below him also moves up a spot. Moving in behind Cannonier who is now at 14 with this news is a two-way tie at 15 between Darren Till and Tom Breese who both Debuted 5/30/2015.
Taking Braga Neto who hasn't fought in forever out moves Cannonier to 13 and makes for a tie at 14 for Till and Breese.
Trevor Smith is out now too, apparently cut quietly in March 2020. After all of these updates I plan on making a post updating the master list after my notes here.

The effort you put into this is awesome! I can imagine it must be a logistical nightmare trying to keep track of all of these fighters (this is the first I've heard about Trevor Smith being cut for instance, that flew right under my radar!)
