You talk as though he has been dominated 3 times by average fights.
3 very close losses to elite fighters should not diminish your reputation.

Well I don't think that it diminishes your reputation as a great fighter, but it does diminish your reputation as the best P4P fighter.

Thanks for laying it out in a non-patronizing way.

No problem. It's people like you that I made this thread for.
I think that some of the older users here should be ashamed of themselves.
How are people such as yourself going to become knowledgeable about MMA if whenever you ask a question you are insulted.

It's people like you who say shit like this, then complain when people call you a 'TUF noob' because you don't know what you are talking about.

I love how you and a lot of these other "MMA snobs" assume that someone is a "noob" because they don't frequently post opinions online. Where were you on May 17, 1996? I was in Detroit watching UFC 9, so don't let my lack of loitering in a chat forum deceive you into thinking I'm a rookie TUF fan.
Some of you are so condescending that you don't even have the self awareness to recognize that you are doing it anymore. Characterizing others as "uneducated" and purporting to lecture everyone on something that is so easily understandable is hilarious. I’m starting to believe that this forum may be a haven for misfits who define their self-worth by some silly colored belt that no one cares about in the real world.

I don't get it people like Sergie get worshiped for losing to Nog 3 years ago but BJ sucks??????? People like Hunt get worshiped on a daily basis as well and yet he has lost 2 straight. People are dumb brother.
