Gurgel starred in the second season of The Ultimate Fighter television series and was eliminated from the show in the fifth episode due to a loss to Jason Von Flue by unanimous decision. Gurgel is a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu who trains with Rich Franklin. He currently lives in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Gurgel's match with Diego Saraiva at UFC 73 was designated as the "fight of the night" by the UFC.[1] In the contest, Gurgel defeated Saraiva in a unanimous decision, even though he was badly injured during the fight.[1] He was hospitalized afterward, due to a broken jaw and the presence of blood in his urine.[1]
