The result was keep. The keep arguments directly or indirectly invoked WP:NMMA (there's a long explanation I'll omit here about why I was willing in this case to treat the MMANOT essay arguments as more or less equivalent to NMMA guideline arguments), as well as one that argued that GNG was met and which provided sources to back that claim. The delete arguments focused on WP:GNG and didn't address NMMA. The nomination did not provide an explicit rationale nor evidence for for their view. I find a sufficient consensus exists for keep. --j⚛e decker ^talk 17:18, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Notability has yet to be established. If he gets a fight against a bigger name opponent, then recreate the page. JonnyBonesJones (talk) 22:22, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - it passes WP:NMMA and WP:MMANOT (2 bouts for Shooto and 1 for UFC) and he's still signed with the UFC, having at least one fight remaining in the contract. Poison Whiskey 18:19, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - WP:NMMA "Have fought at least three (3) professional fights for a top-tier MMA organization, such as the UFC" and WP:MMANOT "Fought at least three (3) fights for top tier MMA organizations". WP:MMANOT lists Shooto, and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) as top tier organizations. he fought in Shooto twice and the UFC once. Kevlar (talk) 03:15, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Not the strongest of resumes, but he appears to meet the requirements at WP:MMANOT. Papaursa (talk) 04:01, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Very weak keep Technically yes - and he did win the Shooto matches.Peter Rehse (talk) 04:33, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of notability, no in-depth coverage in reliable sources. Maybe some day, but not today. --No unique names 00:39, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Passes WP:MMANOT, and is an active UFC fighter, so he'll almost certainly do more than pass the bare minimum requirements at that. Also I added a reference from SporTV.com/Globo Esporte to help with referencing (MMAjunkie is a subsidiary of USA Today and SporTV.com is a subsidiary of Organizações Globo and both are quite reliable by the way).
