 * Delete. No good reliable, secondary sources.  Appears to fail WP:BIO, as there's nothing more I can find than a smattering of jiu-jitsu related sites, most of which appear to have a connection to him. Cool3 (talk) 01:04, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Keep THis is definitely notable. Chris Savarese is one of the most notable names on the American Brazilian Jiu Jitsu scene. Not only has he trained under two members of the Gracie family, he received his Black Belt directly from the son of Grandmaster Helio Gracie. Chris has helped pave the way for new rules and safer tournaments across the country. He did this by heading up the Referee team for Grapplers Quest. To that add the fact that he is the matchmaker for Grapplers Quest's professional division which have helped skyrocketed some of the biggest names in America. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SeanBermudez (talk • contribs) 02:12, 16 March 2009 (UTC) — SeanBermudez (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
