go to junkie and see Jesse Taylor picture
that shit is hilarious
he looks like a rabbit on roids
Gurgel as a headliner, wow. You guys need to get better headliners than a jiu-jitsu black belt who brawls incessantly and has lost 3 of his last 5.
Gurgel may be the best black belt to hate jiu jitsu, but he brings a great fight everytime. I’ve yet to see a boring Gurgel fight. If I were him, I miggggghhhht use my jiu jitsu to maybe, I don’t know, win a fight. But I’m still excited for any fight this guy has. Looks like they both missed weight by a decent amount though.
You also have to keep in mind this is a SF: Challengers series. He’d never be able to carry anything more than being on the main card in a regular SF card.
