Fails WP:MMABIO notability criteria. He only has 1 fight in a top tier promotion (Bellator top tier 2009-2015 before being reinstated as top tier for 2022 and beyond). Sherdog and FightMatrix don't have him ranked in their top 10. He is scheduled to fight for the lightweight title, but since he hasn't actually done that yet this article is WP:TOOSOON, my recommendation is draftify until he fights for the title. ♡RAFAEL♡^(talk) 20:59, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify I added some content on the page since someone else created it beforehand, but too soon as you said.HeinzMaster (talk) 02:07, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It's clearly a case of WP:TOOSOON but it won't be long until he meets WP:NMMA (although I don't know when/if he'll meet WP:GNG). I also think the fact that neither of the fighters fighting for the Bellator lightweight championship are ranked in the top 25 by fightmatrix also says something about the depth of Bellator as a top tier organization.
