I try, but fighters fight when they are due. Your most overdue fighter last fought at the GP Finals (so ManMMA 480.75) I have some fighters on other teams who last fought at ManMMA 477. I have several other teams in your boat as well, who have the same, or more, fighters who have not fought yet this season. When you have a larger league without roster caps, every individual fighter fights less.

but on each card every team should have 1 or 2 fights at least.

I don't disagree with you, but it's easy to say on paper, way more complicated in reality. Though for the most part, we still end up typically getting a fight per team per card, but anomalies do happen.

One of many reasons is fighter-balance. For standings, by the end of the season, the goal is to have every fighter fight 3 times. This has to be my primary focus all-season, or it becomes unattainable near the end of the season.
