Orphaned references in Evolve MMA

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Evolve MMA's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "bloodyelbow":

• From Team Quest: "Bloody Elbow Exclusive: Team Quest Leader Matt Lindland Responds to Ed Herman's MMA Junkie Diatribe - Bloody Elbow". bloodyelbow.com. Retrieved 17 January 2014.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 08:22, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Proposed updates to article structure, locations, and sourcing

I have a conflict of interest because I work for Evolve MMA. In accordance with Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines, I am not editing the article directly. Instead, I am requesting that independent Wikipedia editors review the proposed updates below and implement any changes they deem appropriate.

Reason for Request

The current article contains outdated information regarding Evolve MMA's academy locations and lacks sourced information relating to the company's history, athlete development, community outreach initiatives, and Evolve Fight Team.

The proposed updates are intended to:

• Update outdated academy information.
• Improve the article's historical context.
• Add information about athlete development and achievements.
• Add information regarding community outreach initiatives.
• Improve overall article quality through independent third-party sources.

Proposed Changes

1. Update academy locations to reflect current operations.

Current:

• Evolve Far East Square
• Evolve KINEX
• Evolve Orchard Central
• Evolve Clarke Quay
• Evolve Star Vista

Proposed:

• Evolve Orchard Central
• Evolve Star Vista
• Evolve Raffles Place
• Evolve EmSphere (Bangkok, Thailand)

2. Add a History section covering the founding of Evolve MMA by Chatri Sityodtong and the company's growth.

3. Expand Evolve Fight Team coverage using independent sources, including achievements by athletes such as Noah Lim and Constance Lien.

4. Add a Community Outreach section supported by independent media coverage.

5. Update references and replace outdated or weaker citations where appropriate.

Sources

I have compiled a number of independent third-party sources that may support these proposed updates and would be happy to provide specific citations and draft wording if editors believe the proposed changes are appropriate.

• South China Morning Post
• The Edge Singapore
• Yahoo Sports Singapore
• The Straits Times
• Time Out Singapore
• International Business Times
• MMA Mania
• Gracie Magazine

Thank you for reviewing this request.

Those are not appropriate sources, they are plaintext names of some news sites and other businesses/publications. Your edits are also not easily actionable, proposed text should come with specific supporting sources. Please be aware that it is heavily discouraged to use LLMs when talking to others here. CMD (talk) 14:08, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

Hello, thank you for your reply. Thank you for the feedback. I will prepare specific wording with supporting citations. Will submit a more detailed response shortly. Wesleydesouza1981 (talk) 16:57, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi there,

Can you please make the following changes:

a) Please update Evolve MMA locations.

Current text: There are currently five Evolve MMA academies: Evolve Far East Square, Evolve KINEX, Evolve Orchard Central, Evolve Clarke Quay and Evolve Star Vista in Singapore.

Proposed Updated Text: There are currently five Evolve MMA academies: Evolve Raffles Place, Evolve Orchard Central and Evolve Star Vista in Singapore and Evolve EmSphere in Bangkok, Thailand.

https://www.onefc.com/advice/inside-a-modern-martial-arts-academy-what-training-looks-like-in-2026/

Note: Do note that Evolve KINEX in Singapore was closed 3 weeks ago, that's why the articles still reflect KINEX as one of our locations.

Reason: Locations in current article is outdated/

b) Please update the section about the Evolve Fight Team to include our homegrown athletes.

Proposed Additional text: The organization has also produced and supported Singaporean athletes competing at regional and international events. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athletes Noah Lim and Constance Lien represented Singapore at the Southeast Asian Games, where they won gold medals in their respective divisions.

Supporting Source:

https://mothership.sg/2019/12/singapore-jiu-jitsu-gold-medals/

Reason: To update more current developments in the Evolve MMA Fight Team.

c) Please Update the Article with Evolve MMA's efforts to give back to the community.

Proposed new section:

Community Outreach

Evolve MMA has participated in a number of community outreach initiatives in Singapore. These include scholarship programmes and martial arts programmes for underprivileged and at-risk youth.

The organisation has worked with youth development and community organisations to provide access to martial arts training and mentorship opportunities.

Semi-done Another editor has added the 5 locations. That's the best we can do for now. Regards,  Spintendo  06:24, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
