The finding
What remains unresolved
Robert says he was a fourth-year apprentice, near the capstone test, when The Ultimate Fighter called. His UFC profile confirms the Railcorp apprenticeship but gives no year or capstone detail. A standard four-year apprenticeship is not corroboration that he personally reached year four.
