Mixed martial arts and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competitor and instrutor. Fails WP:NMMA, WP:ATHLETE and WP:GNG. Article appears to be more of an ad for his BJJ studio than anything else. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 15:34, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article's sources don't seem to be independent and he doesn't appear to meet the notability criteria at WP:MANOTE. Since he's not a black belt and he hasn't competed at a world championship then he hasn't competed at the highest level of this sport so WP:ATHLETE isn't met, either. Finally, the article does have a promotional tone regarding his school. Jakejr (talk) 00:16, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't see significant independent coverage. The subject is an underbelt and does not meet the notability criteria at WP:MANOTE. Papaursa (talk) 18:43, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not remotely notable. Promotional, perhaps self-promotional, article. Elton Bunny (talk) 14:29, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
