Great night for MMA, starting with this card. I bet on Gurgel and Taylor, but have little confidence in either of them.

And he's got heavy hands

He’s been setting up his BJJ over the course of numerous fights by doing nothing but swinging wildly. It’s all a rope-a-dope, except the complete opposite.
I hope so…he has some good jitz. It would be nice to see him break it out again…

True
but it is karmic.
"Why am I here? Why does my mind have wings? Why do blue midgets hit me with fish?!" - The Tick
Not really. He won round one by a takedown if at all. He won round two by positional control if at all, and at best he drew in round 3.
Fighting Area Control
He dominated the second round. You could call the others draws, but I don’t see how you could call them for Jorge.
Desite the legitimacy (or lack thereof) of the stand-up
That kick was the most effective strike of the round easily, and could be judged to have been more effective than the 4 minutes of ground work.
Fighting Area Control
He got dropped in the second and Gurgel sunk in a decent gullotine.
