Delete Fought on the undercards for K-1. He wasn't even in the qualifying event for the qualifying event for the final event. Being signed for K-1 doesn't show notability any more than a baseball player signing with a major league team is notable until he gets to the top rung.

Weak Delete The only coverage of this individual are in lists of upcoming fight cards or results. There doesn't appear to be any significant coverage of him. He may become a notable kickboxer, but with only 2 bouts on his record I think this is a case of WP:TOOSOON. Papaursa (talk) 04:35, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep — Fighter has fought twice for K-1, the biggest Kickboxing promotion in the world, and will fight this month for Superkombat, the biggest Kickboxing promotion in Europe.

Delete What events he has appeared in are not relevant, coverage is, and this fighter lacks the significant coverage needed to pass WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Mt king ^(edits) 00:00, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
