For the last month, Jorge Gurgel has made his home In a small
room in the Sityodtong gym in Somerville, Massachusetts. When he has to visit the bathroom in the middle of the night, he has to dodge heavy bags on the way. His wake-up call doesn’t come from the front desk of a posh hotel or an alarm clock, but from the buzzer ringing off r

I don’t care how big and strong a guy is. A novice like Lesnar will be like a fish out of water trying to defend his neck with Couture firmly secured to his back.
