    He is the guy on my avatar and he is somewhat famous for a few streetfights against some guy kimbo trained.

    his style kinda reminds me of a nick diaz or diego sanchez.

    you think he could make some noise in the ufc?????

    Lightweight? Thats crazy!
    On those videos it said he was like 185lbs! So he's cutting around 30lbs?
    He's going to be a huge lightweight.

    Nah.....thats a bit of an exaggeration, thats the same as GSP and Hughes cut to welterweight. Thats how Sherk could move down a weight class because he was considered a small WW. I think Sherk walks around at 170-175.

    dont really know i was a reading an interview with sean sherk and he said that it took him a month or so to cut down to 175 so i just assumed that he is 180

    He was like 165 in those vids, they upped his weight so as to not make it so embarassing for Kimbo's boy getting handled by someone so much smaller.

    Jorge has very good potential. Watch his KO win over Yves Edwards. He has very good hands and overall striking ability, very good ground and pound, and a decent ground game from what I've seen. I've heard they are considering a next fight with Huerta.
