The image is copyrighted by Zuffa, see here. I've already requested deletion at Commons. Cheers, --aktsu ^(t / c) 21:04, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Well, permission to display it wouldn't be enough - they would need to release it under a license compatible with Wikipedia (e.g. the GFDL). If they are willing to do that it would of course be awesome, but I highly doubt they will. Also, not sure I completely grasp what you're trying to accomplish by using it. I think the existing image is perfect in that if shows both the striking and grappling aspects of MMA, while the Bonnar-Jones image gives more associations towards pure greco-roman wrestling and/or professional wrestling than MMA.

If the article emphasized greco-roman wrestling that is certainly not how it should be. You're welcome to do any improvements. The image shows striking from a knee-on-belly possession, definitely not uncommon in MMA and certainly not something you see in BJJ/JJ. --aktsu ^(t / c) 23:06, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Mixed martial arts is the place to discuss it. Cheers, --aktsu ^(t / c) 23:50, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 21:39, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Mixed martial arts. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. TreyGeek (talk) 23:31, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
