Im reasearching Rick Franklin for his next fight with Wanderlie and I see his coach and head trainer is the loud cat from TUF 2. I havent seen him in the UFC for awhile but I remember them praising his BJJ. SO I looked him up on youtube and found this:

That video makes me question how legit his BJJ really is.

I also voted you up for caring enough to want the site rid of trolls as I see you would use the system properly.
What does the voting mean?
Is it because I asked a question on an MMA forum?
I voted the guy down, too.
Yes he is a legit black belt. He has many highly ranked students (for instance, Dustin Hazelett) and when Jorge competed in BJJ he was highly touted. He has shown some good BJJ in MMA as well.

^that fight is really good btw. I enjoyed watching it live.
Sam Lombardo - What does the voting mean?2 or more VTFDs on a thread and the thread is brought to the attention of the mods...even Kirkrkik has popped up on them. It can lead to temporary or permanent banning. VTFUs will get you perks, extras, and perhaps a blue name.

Im still waiting for my 24 hour period to be 24 hours, lol
He got his black from Marcus Aurelio.
Wow man... just wow, way to think you discovered a fake blackbelt in gurgel. wow
lol @ Joe Doerksen showing up and voting you down
hugojkd - Tried embedding the video but it wouldn't let me. Hmmmmm...His BJJ may not have translated into MMA, but his BB is legit. Are his credentials as impressive as a Marcelo or Jacare? No. It still doesn't mean his BB is bogus.
What do you guys think?
I'm biased, Gurgel may be my least-favorite name fighter, he doesn't fight smart & doesn't maximize his alleged BJJ skills.
My vote has been cast. Hi KKM!
How is he not banned yet?
Thanks Ausgepicht

Not just any question. You asked a seriously DUMB question. It is okay to ask dumb questions about regular joes, but watch yo' mouf if you want to talk about Jorge like that.
On a serious note - Jorge, bro, please stop trying to be mr. exciting stand-up fighter. Just take 'em down and choke 'em out man. You have a lot of fans that want to see you be very succesful at this sport.
Jorge has said that he looks forward to showing ALL his skills in Strikeforce. He knows he has under utilized his JJ.
