The result of the move request was: not moved. Andrewa (talk) 07:21, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Anderson Silva (kickboxer) → Anderson Braddock Silva – (kickboxer) is put in the title page to distinguish him from the mixed martial artist, and better known Anderson Silva. However the kickboxer has also competed in mixed martial arts, even as recently as a month ago in a ONE championship event. This would classify him as a mixed martial artist, so it seems a bit unconventional to keep the (kickboxer). Most sources covering him seem to call him Anderson "Braddock" Silva anyways, (possibly to also distinguish him from the UFC champion). This seems like the right move to me but, I'd like to hear everyone's opinions. xoxo ♡RAFAEL♡^(talk) 06:33, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. WP:NICKNAME advises against this sort of title, and sources will often refer to him simply as "Anderson Silva" [1]. Anderson Silva (fighter) would be ambiguous, so the current title works. 162 etc. (talk) 15:10, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose He has been never known as Anderson Braddock Silva, Braddock is just a nickname which never became more official. It's normal to keep him as kickboxer because he was a heavyweight ranked in the top 10 rankings of several publications. So far he'as not even classified as MMA only.
