Delete He doesn't meet WP:NMMA and since he hasn't fought since 2012, he seems unlikely to get the top tier fight he needs. Papaursa (talk) 00:10, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment — It's very likely that he will fight again for the UFC, as he is still in the UFC roster and just didn't fought in January due to an illness. Poison Whiskey 01:19, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That was January 2013 not 2014. Of course if he gets a third fight, he's notable, but that seems unlikely right now. Papaursa (talk) 05:01, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well said, i missed that. Anyway, i'll keep an eye on the news about him. It isn't that rare for a fighter to stay inactive for some years (examples: Dominick Cruz, Thiago Alves, Amir Sadollah and Claude Patrick, all of them still in the UFC roster).

Delete No activity since 2012 and shy of WP:NMMA. I think there are too many unknowns to hold off under "likely" assumptions. Would be willing to considering re-creation/restore if another UFC fight is scheduled. Mkdw ^talk 07:09, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
