Delete. I don't think I can find any widespread coverage in reliable sources. The fact that there was no coverage by Australian media doesn't mean that the subject is not notable, though it would suggest that widespread coverage did not occur, making a claim of notability more difficult. In a search for coverage there was the usual assortment of blogs. I did stumble across incidental coverage in Cage Potato. I now wish I hadn't. On that page the first comment suggests that one fighter will sodomize his opponent, though expressed in other words. Wishing to avoid reflex dismissal of the source because it would lack reliability, I had a look around the site. Their tagline is "MMA is not a crime". Hmmm. I checked the about page to see who the editors are. At the bottom of the about page there was a video running showing a violent assault on a pedestrian crossing in Las Vegas lasting 1:35, ending with a vicious kick to the head of a person on all fours. He slumps to the ground unconscious or dead. The video box is tagged with a link; "See more funny videos". Sickening. The video was hosted on the website of the publisher, not on an external video site. We probably won't use this site as a reliable source. I could editorialize further, but suffice to say the subject of the article is not notable nor is it encyclopaedic. Bleakcomb (talk) 01:22, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
