- Weak Keep Losing a series of NABF fights seems an unlikely way to be notable and I think is another indication that WP:NBOX is too generous. However, consensus prevails and he does appear to meet WP:NBOX. Papaursa (talk) 00:18, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
- Keep I am by no means an MMA/UFC historian, but I have read a lot about Jimmerson with regard to UFC 1. To my understanding, the original point to UFC was more of 'who is the best fighter with the best style' as opposed the the hybrid fight style of today. Jimmerson was the boxer representative and boxing was then and still is a major fighting style (e.g., commercially, fan support, etc.). I think a lot has been written about this fact and in general about UFC 1 (for example see [1], [2], and [3]). I know this does not meet WP:NMMA, but think it supports GNG being met.
