Fails WP:MMANOT criteria for only having 2 fights in top tier promotions. While retiring undefeated is a rare sight, subject doesn't have an extraordinary coverage by sources, failing WP:GNG. ♡RAFAEL♡^(talk) 03:32, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete Strictly speaking, he doesn't meet WP:NMMA. It seems he left the UFC in a money dispute in 2002, before the UFC became such a big money operation. My search found a good number of ghits, but less than I'd hoped in the significant independent coverage category. I found him mentioned in routine sports reporting, various MMA forums/chatrooms, and even an interview where he said he quit because while he was badly beating a fighter in some small promotion, he realized that one day that it would be him on the receiving end--especially because he could never see himself quitting after a loss. I'd like to ignore all rules and vote to keep the article, but I can't get past him not meeting WP:GNG or some SNG. I'll admit I'm open to a good argument as to why this article should be kept. Right now all I've got is WP:ILIKEIT. Papaursa (talk) 21:02, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
