Fails to meet WP:NMMA with one top tier fight and the article's only sources are to his fight record and his personal social media accounts.Mdtemp (talk) 21:24, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - Poor sourcing and not enough notable fights to pass WP:NMMA. Luchuslu (talk) 15:52, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - What is it with all of these MMA articles? Get passed WP:NMMA and look at WP:GNG FIRST! There has to be significant coverage in WP:RS which there are not. What tier they have fought or their overall record doesn't count for anything unless there are WP:RS. --FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 16:40, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Regarding Dudley's comment, there is a list of top tier MMA fight organizations at WP:MMATIER. You have one fight with Bellator but you are required to have 3 top tier fights for notability if only per your fight record. You would need too more. The fact that you have fought UFC fighters, but not in top tier fights, generally makes those fights not meet the policy. Notability is not inherent in that because you fought famous people you are henceforth famous. While a contributing factor, it cannot be the basis for notability because it's likely most people have at one time in their life done something with someone famous. Finally, the most common form of notability is established through significant coverage in reliable and independent sources. I did not find anything conclusive to suggest you met WP:GNG.
