Does not have any top-tier organization fights required to meet WP:NMMA Mkdw ^talk 00:18, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

He is an IBJJF world champion in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Fought in the IFL, which was a professional MMA organization. Also, competed in ADCC and placed 3rd place. The IBJJF and ADCC are the most prestigious submission grappling organizations currently in existence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Att152 (talk • contribs) 00:48, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This link shows that he fought in at least 4 sanctioned MMA fights, which qualifies under WP:NMMA http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/f/92F1B9020EFD9ABF/Emyr-Bussade/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Att152 (talk • contribs) 00:53, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of his fights or titles, if they are not from a "top-tier organization" listed at WP:MMATIER, they are not recognized by WP:NMMA. Mkdw ^talk 01:01, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Passes WP:WPMA/N for his participation in Abu Dhabi. Sepulwiki (talk) 26:21, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would see this Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Miodrag Petković (fighter), Mkdw Sepulwiki (talk)

Unlike Bussade, Petkovic qualified for the actuall ADCC championships, not a secondary division. Papaursa (talk) 03:15, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete He has no fights for a top tier MMA organization, so he fails WP:NMMA. He doesn't pass WP:MANOTE since his BJJ championship was as a purble belt (not the highest level) and he didn't compete in the actual ADCC championships, but rather in an alternate division set up for Arabic competitors.

Delete Doesn't meet WP:NMMA or WP:MANOTE because he hasn't fought at the highest levels. Mdtemp (talk) 20:07, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
