Fails WP:NMMA notability criteria. His highest quarterly ranking by FightMatrix was two hundred sixth, far short of the top 10 requirement. He also hasn't appeared in Sherdog's rankings. ♡RAFAEL♡^(talk) 16:37, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete He obviously fails to meet the current WP:NMMA. He did have three UFC fights, but he lost all of them by TKO or submission. The coverage I found in English consisted of fight results, databases, and coverage of his two year suspension for using banned drugs. That's not enough to meet WP:GNG. There may be good coverage of him in Russia, but someone else would need to find and show that. Papaursa (talk) 22:48, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
