That's my point though. All his wins, including the ones on TUF are against bums whose only wins were against other bums, while his only two losses were against legit UFC talent who were also up and coming at the time and good enough to get signed to the UFC before him.

That's why I can appreciate what he is doing on the show, but at the same time, I'm reserving judgment on how good he really is until I see him against actual UFC contenders. No one he has fought so far on TUF is that type of talent.

I do hope he sticks with Sonnen though. Chael is an amazing coach who could probably help mold him into a contender, but I think it will take some time. Don't think he's there yet.
