Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a mixed martial arts fighter, failed to demonstrate that he met the requisite three evidentiary criteria. While the AAO determined that he did meet the criterion for lesser nationally or internationally recognized awards, it found he had not received a major, internationally recognized award and that the published material submitted was not from major media. Therefore, the petitioner did not establish that he is an individual of extraordinary ability with sustained national or international acclaim.
