thank you thor…i was about to correct him myself on that one. nut yeah, gurgel blows…i watched his fight with abadi a while back and did anyone else notice that he unloaded on abadi with all he had the whole fight but abadi’s face looked completely fine afterwards? it looked like gurgel had hit him with fucking pillows…possibly the worst striker in the ufc. and about nobody wanting to fight in ohio….i seriously doubt any fighter takes fights based on the location (and by the way ufc 68 IN OHIO set a north american attendance record so i don’t think people would mind fighting here). Weak card though…the TBA’s against sylvia and mcfedries better be good

[quote comment="123191"]No one wants to fight in Ohio except guys like Franklin who are from the area. Why else would this card blow whale c0ck ? After party at Matt Hughes farm ?[/quote]

This card aint that bad. Its a timing thing we are getting to see alot of the fighters we want to see fight before this. And it might take awhile to get to the afterparty at “Matt Hughes farm” since he lives in Iowa not Ohio. Its not quite the same state. I live in Ohio and in the country. Beats llving in some sh!thole city.

Gurgel is crap. Hope he loses because he talks like he’s some 5 time UFC 2 weight division former veteran champ. He sucks.

Gurgel better hope Big John McCarthy doesn’t ref that fight.

BJM did an interview where he slammed Gurgel nonstop.

Not to be a buzzkill…

I know a guy who knows Doug personally, and he says Doug rejected the fight, because he’s injured.

Let me correct myself from before, Swick said that he weighed 181 in the octagon, not at the weigh in.

I doubt you will see much difference with Swick. Didn’t he weigh in at 181 against Okami? I seem to remember him saying afterwards that he doesn’t cut weight to get there, 181 – 185 is his natural weight. He said he will now have to stop being spoiled and start cutting like everyone else. I will try to find the source where I read that, but if that is his natural weight, he won’t look much different.

[quote post="2991"]The Gurgel situation though, I understand he was at 170 and had to put on weight for the show, he did have a small belly on it. But his entire demeanor from 2005 plus the fact that he is extremely more muscular makes me think and raise eyebrows if you will.[/quote]

Kevin, actually you are more right than I thought. I didn’t take a close look at the picture of Jorge at the top of this thread. He does look ripped. He even looks like he’s slightly tinted green. Dare I say, the Brazilian Incredible Hulk?
