Here is a little article off of mmaweekly about Jorge. I saw him Saturday night at a local event that consisted of Muay Thia fights and a few mma fights. He looked ripped!! We talked for awhile and he is really looking forward to getting in there and winning this fight now that he is healthy. I cornered a figher for the first time this weekend. Cool experience.


Former Ultimate Fighter contestant Jorge Gurgel returns to the Octagon at UFC 73. On July 7 at the Arco Arena in Sacramento, Calif., Gurgel’s opponent will be Diego Saraiva. The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt has been training with the likes of Rich Franklin, Marcus Aurelio, Dustin Hazelett and Marcus Davis in preparation for his upcoming fight.

“Everything is going great. I’m healthy for the first time. Next week could not come any sooner,” said Gurgel. “I do sacrifice a lot of time training the [other] guys but I’m always doing what I need to do on the side. I don’t ever skip a training or rehab session. My knees are healthy now. I’m ready and I’m healthy.”

A former English teacher in his native country of Brazil, Jorge has come a long way prior to fulfilling his dream of fighting in the UFC. Growing up in Fortaleza in Northern Brazil, he began practicing Jiu-Jitsu at the age of sixteen. Gurgel spent a year in the U.S. as an exchange student in Chicago, Ill. until he was seventeen. Jorge later moved to Ohio when he was twenty to further his studies and strive for a future in fighting, a secret he kept from his parents.

After quitting school to pursue a professional fighting career, Jorge waited tables and taught at a local Jiu-Jitsu school to support himself. Gurgel competed in many organizations including Extreme Challenge, Freestyle Fighting Championships and King of the Cage before he was asked to participate on the second season of the Ultimate Fighter. Brimming with confidence, Gurgel was considered a favorite to win in his respective weight class.

Jorge sustained a knee injury during training prior to the taping of the show. The injury had an effect on the Ohio resident going into his first elimination match on the show. During his fight against Jason Von Flue, Gurgel’s knee buckled at one point and the aggravated injury forced Jorge to be more tentative. Von Flue went on to win a decision and Gurgel was eliminated from the show.

A year later, Jorge was fully rehabilitated from knee surgery and ready to make his Octagon debut. At Ultimate Fight Night 5, Gurgel faced Team Tomkins fighter Mark Hominick. Utilizing a conservative strategy of selective striking and evasion, Hominick won an unpopular decision over the much more aggressive Gurgel. Mark’s performance garnered boos from the crowd while Jorge made many new fans that evening.

Three months later, Gurgel finally earned his first victory in the UFC over former The Ultimate Fighter Season 3 contestant Danny Abbadi. With his first win behind him, and another healed up from another knee injury following the Abbadi fight, the “Bionic Brazilian” is ready for his next challenge. Next Saturday, fellow Brazilian Diego Saraiva will put Gurgel to the test.

“I’ve known Diego for 15 years. We’re from the same hometown in Brazil. There are no surprises in his Jiu-Jitsu game,” explained Gurgel. “I’m happy he’s taken the fight against me. I’m extremely confident, I’m in shape and I’m healthy. I know his capabilities, I know his strengths. I know what Diego’s good at and I’m looking forward to getting him out of his element. I’m sure he’s going to come out a much better fighter this time.”

An accomplished grappler in his own right, Jorge Gurgel received his black belt from Pride and ZST veteran Marcus Aurelio. “Marcus is my teacher; he gave me my black belt. When he’s in my school, he’s the boss. There’s a lot of loyalty; I demand a lot of respect from my students and I’m the same way with my teacher. Marcus, in my opinion, is the best grappler in the world. He’s going to be a force at 155 pounds. I’m excited to see him in the UFC and he’s the only person that I would never fight.”

The 155-pound division is bolstering with many new talented fighters. Gurgel finds himself as a fellow competitor in the deepest UFC weight class today. With so much competition, is Jorge concerned?

“I only worry about my next opponent. Everybody else is just everybody else. As the sport grows bigger, of course there are going to be many challenges coming from all around the world,” replied Gurgel. “My biggest concern…I don’t want the UFC to get watered down. I don’t want the UFC to have so many shows that the fans and even the fighters themselves lose track.”

Jorge Gurgel has come a long way to fulfill one of his dreams. With a new 12,800 square-foot training facility and a solid core of teammates, training partners and instructors, Jorge has proven that he is passionate about the sport and wants to establish his JG MMA Academy as one of the most reputable gyms in the U.S. At UFC 73, the hard working Brazilian from Fortaleza looks to add his name to the growing list of title contenders.

“My fights are always exciting. I’m always going to come out aggressive. I hope, after the main card is done, they air my fight afterwards. I just want to go in and perform the best I can [and] come out with a victory. I don’t ask for anything else.”

Frank Edgar defeated Tyson Griffin at UFC 67 and Mark is a Jiu-Jitsu wizard.

Stephan Bonnar on his opponent I think he will win because of this. I will post my picks a little later
“I am definitely going into this fight with only one thing on my mind. That will be to destroy. It is that simple…. I mentally was weak for my last fight…. Every day I was in severe pain training with a broken arm. And then, a week before the fight I was cut over my left eye and needed 10 stitches. So going into the fight my mind was not on hurting my opponent. It was on protecting my cut and not showing him my arm was hurt. Finally, I shattered my right hand early in the fight. Instead of being focused on trying to take my opponent out, I was just moving around, engaging a little and surviving. This fight I feel good physically, which makes it easier to feel strong mentally. My focus is on hurting my opponent and taking him out.”

Heres my picks
Anderson Silva VS. Nate Marquardt: Silva is way too fast and wins by TKO
Alvin Robsinson VS. Kenny Florian: I pic Florian on this simply for the fact i havent heard of robinson
Rashad Evans VS. Tito Ortiz: I think Rashad will win this one by either TKO or split decision, the only thing Tito is good at is ground and pound , and Rashad's got what it takes to stay off the ground.
Hermes Franca VS. Sean Sherk: I beleive It's Francas time to win the LW title, He's hungry and dominated spencer fisher in his last fight, i dont believe sherk will keep the title
Heath Herring VS. Antonio Noguiera: as muchas i like Heath Herring, and i will actually be rooting for him, i believ noguiera will win simply for the fact that hes got more talent than herring.
Mike nickels Vs. Stephan Bonnar: Bonnar by TKO or Unanimous decision, nickels does not have 1/4 the experience in the UFC as bonnar does, and will get distracted with the crowd
Diego Saraiva Vs. Jorge Gurgel : Im gonna pick Jorge in this one, better stand up and BJJ than savaira
Chris Lytle Vs. Jason Gilliam : Lytle Defeats Gilliam based on experience in MMA
Mark Bocek Vs. Frank Edgar : dont know either so i will go with the frank edgar due to his better record.

Nate Marquardt defeats Anderson Silva via Round 4 (T)KO strikes
Tito Ortiz defeats Rashad Evans via Unanimous Decision
Sean Sherk defeats Hermes Franca via Unanimous Decision
Big Nog defeats Heath Herring for the 3rd Straight Time via Armbar round 1
KenFlo defeats Alvin Robinson via Decision
(DO NOT be surprised if Alvin Robinson wins)
Stephan Bonnar defeats Mike Nichols via Split Decision
Jorge Gurgel defeats Diego Saraiva via SPLIT decision
Chris Lytle defeats Jason Gilliam Round 2 KO
Frank Edgar defeats Mark Bocek win round 1 (T)KO strikes


If Shogun defeats whoever he fights he will automatically get a title shot in December or Janurary and the DAN HENDERSON/RAMPAGE JACKSON FIGHT is NOT for the the titles either.

I pretty much agree with you on the fights besides the Tito/Rashad fight and the Sherk/Hermes fight.
I think Sherk will defend his belt with an impressive victory over Hermes.
As for the Tito/Rashad fight, for some reason whenever I see Tito now he just don't look as motivated as he used to be. Not sure if the second loss to Liddle crushed his hopes or what. I think Rashad will win after a good display of ground and pound...

I agree I find it very very dumb because they kinda hyped it up at UFC 71 about a double title match, if they were smart they would change it to a Double Title Match and if they did that the PPV buys would be EXTREME, but I gaurentee you if it was Chuck Liddell/Dan Henderson fight the titles would be on the line because Dana would think Chuck would dominante Dan and Chuck's populairity would even more sky-rocket.

I think it's for sure that it's only because Liddell lost. It was the plan for Chuck (Dana's friend) to win both belts, not Check or Dan

I only missed the Nate/Silva fight cause I thought Nate was a REAL THREAT to Anderson's belt, I guess I was wrong. Also I thought alvin was goign to make Kenflo tap... my mistake.

I really need to start making predictions with my head and not my heart. That is the reason I picked Franca and Nichols.

The Nog fight was great! I am impressed with Heath. He showed tremendous fortitude.
As for the Franca fight. Hermes showed he deserved to be a top contender. The guy was dominated but was not hurt at all. He did a great job of avoiding punishment from the ground and I am still not sure how two of those three knees didn't KO Sherk!


Congrats to my boy Jorge although I am sure he is mad because he didn't finish the fight.

Sean Sherk has to have a brick chin, because those knees would have literally knocked out about 95% of the lightweights out there.
Just shows you that nobody will be able to beat Sherk.
In November it will be BJ Penn vs. Sean Sherk.

Well its officall I believe that in NOV it will be Sherk vs. Penn and it will be a great fight with out a doubt but Sherk is just the complete package, and when he beats Penn who else is there? Diaz again? Bring in Gomi? Daddy? KenFlo II? Tyson Griffin? Frank Edgar? I don't think anyone can beat Sean Sherk.

Herring disappointed me. He should have been more agressive when he had Nog rocked. I know he was afraid of his guard, but he could have ended it if he would have kept up the pressure instead of letting him stand up.
Overall, I liked the fights, but I didn't like the outcomes of the Sherk/Franca fight or the Ortiz/Evans fight. I really like hermes and no one likes a draw.

I agree that Herring should have bee more aggressive after he rocked Nog. I am not sure why he was so leary. Even at the statrt of 2 he should have come out throwing punches and kicks but he let him recover.

As for Sherk being unbeatable....LMAO!! Let's get real people. Matt Hughes beat him. Bj has incredible balance and freakish flexibility. Good luck trying to take him down and then if you do, not getting submitted!

Matt Hughes did not beat him at 155. Georges also beat Sean Sherk at 170, the only two losses on his record by the way. The reason why he lost those fights is because he is a small guy (5'6") and he is taking on 5'9, 5'10 fighters thats why he lost to both of them. He took Matt Hughes to the distance and made a decent fight out of it.
BJ Penn will gas, and he will gas quickly, Sean Sherk, is excactly the same fighter as Matt Hughes, but with better wrestling skill and better cardio. Sherk will work BJ Penn, I don't care how good BJ's JJ is, he has no cardio still. Plus he has fought people like a Hemres Franca, KenFlo, Karo Parysian who have argeuably great JJ (even though Karo has not shown it in UFC) and he man handled all of those opponents, lets face the facts, Wrestling is the most dominant style in the UFC as of right now.

With being said, Josh Barnett is a free agent and lets prey he comes into the UFC.
