Prelim spot OK for Ohio show, but Strikeforce's Jorge Gurgel wants TV time in future

COLUMBUS, Ohio - After a 1-4 skid, Jorge Gurgel probably understands the reasons Strikeforce officials put him on a untelevised preliminary card.

It stung, but with Saturday's fight taking place close to home, the Dayton-area gym owner's students and friends could make the trip to Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, to see him fight.

But following a quick 44-second submission win over Billy Vaughan, Gurgel said he's ready to make a permanent return to TV fights.
