Delete Fails WP:NMMA. Has no top tier fights and a second tier title does not show notability. He may become notable, but article was created WP:TOOSOON.Mdtemp (talk) 15:04, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Does anyone know if he meets the notability standard for wrestling he was a Division 1 All American. 74.103.250.78 (talk) 23:22, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

His best finish at the NCAA tournament was 7th (the top 8 are "All-Americans"). Not sufficient to meet WP:NCOLLATH. Papaursa (talk) 19:50, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He is one an undefeated fighter who has beaten some notable fighters as well as is a ranked top Lightweight fighter who is Champion of a notable organization and is currently undefeated which shows the reason why he is becoming someone notable for the sport of MMA at the moment JMichael22 (talk) 05:29, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to look at the notability criteria for MMA fighters at WP:NMMA. Papaursa (talk) 19:32, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete He definitely fails to meet WP:NMMA. Coverage appears to be routine sports reporting so he also doesn't meet WP:GNG. Like Mdtemp and Jmichael22 I believe he is a promising MMA fighter, but I agree with Mdtemp that he's not yet notable. I have no objection to putting this is someone's sandbox for recreation when/if he meets WP:NMMA. Papaursa (talk) 19:32, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
