XSL duplicate info problem - xslt

Question

Just trying out xsl and I've got one problem that just won't go away. My style sheet code is this
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="Fighter">
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<b>Name </b> <xsl:value-of select="name"/> <br/>
<b>AKA</b> <xsl:value-of select="nickname"/> <br/>
<b>Age</b> <xsl:value-of select="age"/> <br/>
<b>Height</b> <xsl:value-of select="height"/> <br/>
<b>Division</b> <xsl:value-of select="division"/> <br/>
<b>Reach</b> <xsl:value-of select="reach"/> <br/>
<b>Stance</b> <xsl:value-of select="stance"/> <br/>
<b>Nationality</b> <xsl:value-of select="nationality"/> <br/>
<b>Training Camp</b> <xsl:value-of select="camp"/> <br/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="bout">
<table width="100%" border="1">
<tr>
<td width ="10%"><xsl:value-of select="result"/></td>
<td width ="10%"><xsl:value-of select="opponent"/></td>
<td width ="10%"><xsl:value-of select="waywon"/></td>
<td width ="10%"><xsl:value-of select="round"/></td>
<td width ="10%"><xsl:value-of select="event"/></td>
<td width ="10%"><xsl:value-of select="date"/></td>
<td width ="10%"><xsl:value-of select="location"/></td>
<td width ="10%"><xsl:value-of select="notes"/></td>
</tr>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/">
<h1>LIST OF UFC FIGHTERS</h1>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
I want to get some info on a fighter displed and then show the fight record as below. however it keeps on adding an extra line, as below.
Name George St Pierre AKA GSP Age 30 Height 5ft 10
in Division Welterweight Reach 76 in Stance
Orthodox Nationality Canadian Training Camp Tristar Gym
George St Pierre GSP 30 5ft 10 in Welterweight 76 in Orthodox Canadian
Tristar Gym
Why is this info printing out twice? I'm sure this is probably simple but it's really frustrating me.

Answer 1

Because you have apply-templates in template Fighter and no template for name, nickname, age etc - so XSL just copies text contented in this nodes - put this in the end of your XSL to avoid this and keep apply-templates there
<xsl:template match="*"></xsl:template>
This will put empty string for any tag not processed by other template

Answer 2

try this
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="Fighter">
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<b>Name </b> <xsl:value-of select="name"/> <br/>
<b>AKA</b> <xsl:value-of select="nickname"/> <br/>
<b>Age</b> <xsl:value-of select="age"/> <br/>
<b>Height</b> <xsl:value-of select="height"/> <br/>
<b>Division</b> <xsl:value-of select="division"/> <br/>
<b>Reach</b> <xsl:value-of select="reach"/> <br/>
<b>Stance</b> <xsl:value-of select="stance"/> <br/>
<b>Nationality</b> <xsl:value-of select="nationality"/> <br/>
<b>Training Camp</b> <xsl:value-of select="camp"/> <br/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="bout">
<table width="100%" border="1">
<tr>
<td width ="10%"><xsl:value-of select="result"/></td>
<td width ="10%"><xsl:value-of select="opponent"/></td>
<td width ="10%"><xsl:value-of select="waywon"/></td>
<td width ="10%"><xsl:value-of select="round"/></td>
<td width ="10%"><xsl:value-of select="event"/></td>
<td width ="10%"><xsl:value-of select="date"/></td>
<td width ="10%"><xsl:value-of select="location"/></td>
<td width ="10%"><xsl:value-of select="notes"/></td>
</tr>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/">
<h1>LIST OF UFC FIGHTERS</h1>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Fighter"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="bout"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
