Contested PROD. Article does not demonstrate why this event is more than routine sports reporting. Consensus has generally been that events featuring fighters primarily from the region are not notable, even if it is one of the first events of its kind in the region (otherwise, we would have a page for the first large event in every region of the world for every conceivable sport). The promotion hosting this event does not pass GNG, nor does the majority of its participants. Osubuckeyeguy (talk) 18:53, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article cites only a single source for good reason; I was unable to find any significant coverage (practically no coverage actually). Therefore, the event fails WP:GNG. --TreyGeek (talk) 00:46, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Article fails WP:SPORTSEVENT and WP:ROUTINE. There's no indication of notability. Astudent0 (talk) 18:02, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Even though it's hard to find information regarding this event it was very important for MMA in Sweden. Sweden had very strict laws prohibiting full contact martial arts and this was one of the first events that even was allowed in Sweden. Therefor it's has a very important value for MMA in Sweden.
Delete I agree with the previous delete comments. I think Osubuckeyeguy addressed the previous editor's comment, while I found nothing to show this article meets WP:SPORTSEVENT or WP:ROUTINE. The only source is a mere listing of the results. Papaursa (talk) 19:38, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
