I'm having trouble finding the "'significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent" required by WP:BIO. Most coverage is only trivial, mentioning fight results etc. Subject is a professional athlete, but not in the sense WP:ATHLETE assumes (he's not fighting at the equivalent level to say pros in the NFL; next to all mixed martial arts competition is professional since most state athletic commision does not have an amateur level). His fights are all in lower-level regional promotions, something acknowledged in the prose when mentioning fights to UFC (a top-level promotion) rejects as particularly notable fights. -- aktsu (t / c) 03:37, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Same here (agree with nom). Absence of appearances in sufficiently high-level matches, and total absense of news articles suggests to me he fails WP:ATHLETE. Ohconfucius (talk) 04:00, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * He's fought former high level opponents. It doesn't matter if he's not in top level organizations. He's going to keep his page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lordvader2009 (talk • contribs)
