	To-do list for Matt Lindland:	edit - history - watch - refresh
	Find an image which is reasonably copyright-free. Speaking from personal preference, I'd prefer not the common one of Matt sneering — I know that's an image he's trying to put on to get more fights, but it's actually quite a rare image of him. To expand — add discussion of his problems with the UFC and perception with fans, his attempts to present an image to increase his popularity.

[edit] Nickname

what i said about matt lindland receiving his nickname "the law" was accurate , why was it deleted and called vandalism?

Wikipedia requires that material be cited from reliable sources, so even if the nickname origin is true it has to be sourced. I've removed it pending a reliable source. MrVibrating (talk) 22:31, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unsourced claim

"He is often ranked as the number one fighter in his weight class." I have removed this in accordance with the living persons biography policy as it is controversial and entirely unsourced. - Mule Man 13:28, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] UFC Contract Dispute

Anybody know what contract clause he violated? Was it something to do with having the name of a gambling site on his shorts?--HardCopy 18:07, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
