In his first stint with stardom on the reality show, The Ultimate Fighter, he had advanced to the semi-finals where he lost by a split decision after one of the most grueling fights in the history of the show. He has been often criticized by some experts for his style of fighting. He has laid emphasis on more position based tactics and ground control. He is a very sound fighter in these spheres but lacks the hard striking capability which has resulted in a few crucial losses.
