O.K. “Big Mac” has taken a few months off to prepare for a fight, but I had to come out of hiding to voice my shock…. nay, DISGUST at the fact that Jorge Gurgel is back in the UFC after four, count ‘em FOUR bland performances in the Octagon.
C’mon folks, even Daniel “I’m an ULTIMATE FIGHTER!” Abbadi gave him all he could handle…..
Gurgel has never finished a fight in the UFC and other than the ability to take a punch, he’s show no real A level skills. Although that doesn’t stop Joe Rogan from touting his “SICK Jiu-Jitsu” skills. Perhaps he means sick as in “sick in bed at home” cuz Gurgel certainly hasn’t been bringing them to the Octagon!
What’s worse, anytime Gurgel loses he makes excuses. Whether it was his knee on The Ultimate Fighter season 2 when he lost to Jason Von Flu, or the fact that Mark Hominick didn’t stand still long enough for Gurgel to take him down, Jorge is always ready and willing to blame the loss on something other than his lack of talent.
Now, I know that Gurgel is joined at the hip (or possibly other body part) with former Middleweight Champ Rich Franklin. But after 2 losses to Anderson Silva, “Ace” is no longer Dana’s golden boy. So God only knows what is motivating them to keep ramming Gurgel down our throats.
Oh well. At least now we can hold out hope for the return of Jason Thacker……..
