Change : The Sportser reported in early 2024 that Batista had gone completely vegetarian.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).

Note : I think you need to add a "</ref>" to the end of one of the referances as it's giving an error on the main page in the public life section second paragraph. Sorry if i messed up format no idea what I'm doing. 2A00:23C7:7C01:6201:A4D8:2F41:5847:4565 (talk) 18:14, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

MMA debut has incorrect facts edit

Latest comment: 23 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The article claims that Bautista was supposed to fight Rashad Evans in his first MMA fight. If you look at the listed link, he was actually supposed to fight someone named Rashid Evans.

Rashad Evans was a well-established UFC fighter at the time of the listed fight, and there's no way he would have been fighting Bautista in some little-known promotion.

This misinterpretation is borderline libelous, because the stated reason Bautista didn't fight Evans was that Evans violated his parole. As far as I know, Rashad Evans has never been convicted of any crime or sentenced to probation. 131.93.21.165 (talk) 15:48, 30 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Proposed Change edit

Change "Rashad Evans" to "Rashid Evans" in the article, as the current text mistakenly links to the wrong fighter.

Reason edit

The article incorrectly mentions and links to Rashad Evans, a former UFC champion, in relation to a cancelled fight and subsequent legal issues which actually involve Rashid Evans, a different fighter.
