If that's how we judge someone off their first fight we see, then there's a lot of shitty fighters running around pretending to be good because even just on TUF alone we've seen guys look like shit. Look at Leben in season one. Couldn't do anything to Koscheck, comes back luckily and loses to who was it Florian with an elbow? If people were judging fighters by their work and only their work on TUF, Leben would have been labeled a jobber right from the get-go. That never even came close to happening though. So why from one Rory performance, a WIN at that, is he labeled not only someone you don't think will beat Herman, not only someone you think will win the tourney, but by the way you guys talk is someone who doesn't even belong on the show anyway.

you should ask yourself that same question, im saying that Rory can prove hes not as bad as Thacker in this fight.

and I dont think people are basing just on one fight, I think there basing it on everythign theyve seen from the show from him.. and there making an OPINION off of that.

If everyone thinks that everything hes done on the show merrits him to be as bad as Thacker so be it, im sayin if he comes out fightin against Ed im sure everyones opinion will change.
