Same reasons as the first two AfD - does not meet WP:NMMA. The Db-repost was declined because the article was different enough however the second AfD was for a truncated version of the first. This version is pretty much the same as the first deleted version. No top tier fights and BJJ success was as blue belt (i.e. lower level.) Peter Rehse (talk) 14:08, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article seems to get recreated after each fight he has, although none of them are for a top tier organization. There is nothing to show he meets the notability criteria for MMA fighters. Competing as a blue belt in BJJ is not competing at the highest level and winning a silver medal isn't very impressive when there are only two competitors, nor is success in "Juvenile 2" divisions as a blue belt. None of the coverage can be considered anything but routine sports reporting. Papaursa (talk) 22:40, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
