• Merge/Redirect to Nova União (mixed martial arts) Virtually all of the sources I find are passing mentions of him being somebody's coach--which is what he does at Nova Uniao. It's true he technically meets WP:NMMA since he fought for a UFC title, but it's hard to see why he got that bout considering he has 1 lifetime win in MMA and that loss was his only top tier match. The article's sources are Facebook, a mention that he was graded in BJJ by Marco Ruas, and an "interview" on the website of a company that sells MMA and BJJ gear (hardly a reliable source)--nothing to help meet WP:GNG.

• Redirect to Nova Uniao. Doesn't meet WP:GNG for a standalone article and a 4 fight, 1 win MMA career doesn't seem enough to make him notable as an MMA fighter. Best known as a BJJ instructor which is his role with Nova Uniao. Mdtemp ( talk) 16:20, 1 December 2014 (UTC) reply
