Fails WP:NMMA. Never previously appeared in Sherdog's top 10, nor has he been ranked inside his division's top 10 by Fight Matrix, with his highest being 44th. Also couldn't find any significant coverage on the subject, so WP:GNG is failed. ♡RAFAEL♡^(talk) 18:02, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails to meet either WP:GNG or the current WP:NMMA. Coverage is routine sports reporting and fight announcements, nothing sufficient to show notability. Setting a record for being knocked down the most is not a sign of WP notability and his record shows he wasn't really ready to fight at the highest level.
