Subject is non-notable. His only activity of notability is being a participant in the reality show The Ultimate Fighter 7 which he lost in the first round. Justastud15 (talk) 03:08, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- "He has fought nationally for the Portland Wolfpack of the International Fight League" indicates some sort of notability, but it is unsourced. Aiken ♫ 16:13, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. I agree that losing in the first round of a reality TV programme doesn't lend notability, but I was concerned about the possibility of notability accruing as the result of meeting the specific sports guidelines. I looked at Mixed martial arts which seems to indicate that the organization (International Fight League or IFL) in question is professional, but hardly at the highest level of such activity (I was unable to determine quickly if UFC is considered amateur or professional, but that seems to be the top dog organization). IFL seems to me to be a regional and/or middle level organization and thus below the threshold of high-level professional sporting activities so, on the balance of probabilities, I suggest deletion.
