TUF 7 Spoiler Update

The following was posted by www.mmajunkie.com

Prince McleanPrince Mclean (4-5 MMA, 0-0 UFC), an Ohio-based middleweight who’s suffered his fair share of bad luck lately, has finally received some good fortune: he’s been chosen as a cast member for "The Ultimate Fighter 7."

Mclean will surely be one of the most scrutinized selections for the show, thanks to his 4-5 career record. Things started off well enough as the fighter posted four consecutive knockout victories — three of them in less than two minutes each. However, Mclean’s since loss five straight, but two of those losses resulted from shoulder injuries — including a dislocated shoulder in his most recent fight — that rendered him unable to continue.

Although all his victories have come via knockout, Mclean is quite comfortable on the ground. In high school, he was a two-time state qualifier in wrestling. Additionally, he trains at Team Jorge Gurgel, one of the country’s top Brazilian Jiu Jitsu schools. The Cincinnati-based team is home to Rich Franklin, Marcus Davis, Dustin Hazelett, Gurgel and other UFC fighters.

That was where the quote ended but I feel the need to add this. Does anyone really want to advertise that they're from Team Gurgel? Don't get me wrong, people say he's a fantastic coach but he's just not that great of a fighter. Isn't that like having Marc Laimon corner you? Ok, far stretch but you get the point. If not for Rich Franklin, Team Gurgel wouldn't be in the UFC at all.
