While it was a noteworthy achievement finishing the season as Champion. It's a no

I think he had a great season. I'd have to vote no though based off so many un-managed fighters as opponents. Close to half his opponents were. That's a lot, but still a really good season.

I think Bob showed his limitations in The Silver Six. And he struggled against the better fighters of this season.
If we were to talk about this season's top ten - then certainly he would be included, but that's nowhere near enough.
