Gurgel stayed around as long as he did because of Rich. His heart was huge and loved to put on a show, but I agree with most in here that he was not really cut out for the UFC. I too think he will be a great fit in Strikeforce.

As far as Soko-No comment- i have felt his kicks and don't want to anger him, however, he will still be fighting.

I hope Gurgel does use his JJ more like he says in the article
