Josh Hill (MMA)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable MMA fighter- no top tier fights - not that many professional fights. Assertation of #1 Bantam weight in Canada is from his web site. Peter Rehse (talk) 12:10, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A cacophony of grand claims but no reliable sources to back them up.--Laun chba ller 10:27, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

actually, the source for his record is IIRC sherdog.com. But it does claim to be "the global authority on mixed martial arts" for what that is worth. Postcard Cathy (talk)

yup it is sherdog. And confirmed undefeated status at WSOF champ Marlon Moraes battles undefeated Josh Hill in September Postcard Cathy (talk)

Delete Fails WP:NMMA with no top tier fights and WP:GNG with a lack of significant independent coverage. As far as his #1 ranking goes, his website says "At the present time, Josh is considered the #1 Bantamweight fighter in Canada that is not signed by the UFC." The "not signed by the UFC" part is important.Mdtemp (talk) 19:36, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
