Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially important when dealing with biographies of living people, but applies to all Wikipedia articles. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add your reference to the article. Gromlakh (talk) 03:10, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

My source was an email received from UFC.com.

 * That won't qualify as a reliable source. Please use the talk page if you're going to propose radical changes to the article, as there's already a discussion ongoing about what to do. The WP:MMA community is already looking for a consensus on how to deal with things. Gromlakh (talk) 03:30, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Haha. UFC.com don't qualify as a reliable source for a UFC event ? Oh well. I was just trying to help. But 'UFC 83' will be held in Montreal at the Bell Centre on Saturday April 19th, 2008 ;)

 * I think what Gromlakh is getting at is that until this is published on their site, we cannot use it as a citation (we can't directly link to images as citations, as they could be modified or anything). Once it is published on their website (which shouldn't be too long, if it's being sent out in emails already), then we can link it. And secondly, this would be original research. Again, we should wait until this is published on UFC.com. :) Dreaded Walrus t c 03:59, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
