Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a mixed martial arts athlete, failed to prove extraordinary ability. The AAO determined the petitioner did not receive a major, internationally recognized award and failed to provide sufficient evidence to meet the regulatory criteria for lesser awards, membership in associations requiring outstanding achievement, or original contributions of major significance to the field.
