Sonnen is world class based on my definition, but far from elite in that group.
BTW, if you really like BJJ, check out Leandro Lo, this dude is out of this world.

Who did he beat before TRT? He made it to UFC because they bought WEC while he was still under contract and lost his first fight after the purchase. I don't buy him as anything more than a really good wrestler who lost 3 fights to Jeremy Horn.
