MMA fighter with a total of 4 fights, none with a top tier organization. The fact she's about to fight for a title of a minor organization doesn't show notability.Mdtemp (talk) 21:27, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

MMA fighter is currently one of the topped ranked female fighters around and is expected to join the UFC if she wins her up coming bout JMichael22 (talk) 23:36, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

I believe this fighter is currently one of the best female fighters in her weight class and is deserving of this wikipedia page regardless of how many bouts she has had she also has a history of Amateur bouts as well giving her a total of 12 or 13 Mixed Martial arts fights she is currently ranked as one of the top female Strawweight fighters in the world some sources have her ranked at #18 and #19 she is currently getting ready to compete for the XFC Women's Strawweight Championship and from there she might be given the opportunity to compete for the UFC once they start up there Strawweight division in the beginning of 2014.

• Delete - Not ranked in the top ten in her weight class according to the Unified Women's MMA Rankings, plus the UFC has made no guaranteed they'll expand to new women's divisions anytime soon. Amateur bouts also don't add much to her notability. WP:ILIKEIT isn't a valid reason for an article. Luchuslu (talk) 15:27, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

• Comment Those rankings were before her most recent fight. Into the Rift (talk) 17:16, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

JMichael22, please don't remove edits by other people as you did with Luchuslu's comment above.

• Delete Has no top tier fights and isn't close to meeting WP:NMMA. The keep vote above involves a lot of personal opinion and WP:CRYSTALBALL with nothing to show subject meets any WP notability criteria. Papaursa (talk) 21:10, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

• Keep She is currently ranked as the #10 Strawweight fighter in the world by Fight Matrix also she competed in the 2007 Pan American games and is a former member of the USA National Boxing Team. Into the Rift (talk) 17:18, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

The generally accepted women's rankings are the Unified Women's MMA Rankings where she is not listed among the 15 strawweights [1]. In addition, if you look at WP:NMMA you'll see that rankings don't figure into MMA notability. There's also no evidence to show she's a notable boxer (WP:NBOX) and the article fails to show she meets WP:GNG.Mdtemp (talk) 19:49, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

There's no mention of a boxing career in the article and being on a Pan-American team does not automatically confer notability. Women's boxing was not part of the Pan-American games in 2007 so I'm a bit confused by Into the Rift's argument. Papaursa (talk) 19:08, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

• Delete Doesn't meet any notability requirements that I can see. People making up criteria because of WP:ILIKEIT doesn't work for me.204.126.132.231 (talk) 20:11, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
• Delete Doesn't meet notability requirements - WP:NMMA says that there needs to be three fights for a reasonably large competition and I can't find them listed in WP:MMANOT. Adrianw9 (talk) 21:10, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
