A badly made article about a non-notable MMA practitioner, mostly made up of possibly plagiarized stats, has fought 8 times in his entire career, fights that are in a regional pro circuit. The references do not exist, linking only to the homepages of MMA fansites, with links to IETF RFCs sprinkled in. Grognard 123chess456 (talk) 01:31, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

What is made up about this article?

How does one "plagurize stats"? The stats are all verifiable. Plagurize means copied from another source,aren't all stats then plagurized for any sport/athlete?

What does the number of pro fights have to do with anything? Chris Weidman had 8 pro fights when he challenged for the mw #1contender spot, and had fought a similar level of competition previous to that.

The references link to tapology, sherdog, and mixedmartialarts.com, none of which are MMA fan sites.

The only accurate criticism of this page is that it's poorly made, maybe you can help with that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Silvasurfer1ri (talk • contribs) 19:51, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
 * The real point is that this fighter doesn't meet the notability criteria for MMA fighters (see WP:NMMA). Papaursa (talk) 16:38, 13 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete He fails to meet WP:NMMA since he has no top tier fights and he fails to meet WP:GNG since he has no significant coverage from independent reliable sources. Papaursa (talk) 16:38, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
