Not a contender by any stretch of the imagination, but a fun fighter to watch, a great technical grappler, and seemingly an all-around cool guy. 

During his 14-year career, he defeated Joe Doerksen (twice), Ed Herman, Chris Leben, Rory Singer, Jason Lambert and Ryan Jensen, finishing all of them. He also had competitive and notable losses to greats such as Demian Maia, Yushin Okami and Rich Franklin.
