All accounts are making nearly identical edits to articles about MMA fighters contracted to UFC to add external links to UFC.com. It appears one account will make some edits, within a couple minutes another account is created and makes similar edits, a few minutes later another account is created (rinse and repeat). There was a discussion (started by me) in the MMA WikiProject about a possibility the owner of the account is employed by UFC and thus the edits would be a conflict of interest. MMA25MMA was created a few minutes before the start of that discussion, but two minutes after Steve14orhs' last edit. The other three accounts were all created today within 30 minutes of each other.

Exact same edits as recently blocked sockpuppeteer UFC patrick. The editor geolocates to Las Vegas which is where UFC is headquartered (the subject of all these edits) indicating a possible COI (especially given that the edits are all about adding links to UFC). 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 SQGibbon (talk) 17:46, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
