Jorge Gurgel to broadcast Sept. 4 Shine Fights event
Area mixed-martial-arts fighter and gym owner Jorge Gurgel, a native Brazilian, will enter the broadcast booth next month when he serves as the Portuguese-language commentator for the Sept. 4 Shine Fights card.
Shine Fights, a Columbus-based organization that debuted earlier this year, is featuring the famed American Top Team in the event, which takes place at the The James L. Knight Center in Miami, Fla. The “ATT vs. The World” event pits some of ATT’s top fighters against other competitors.
While still a rookie promotion, Shine Fights (run by Ohio State MBA grad Devin Price) has booked many notables, including Roan Carneiro, Luiz Firmino, Flavio Alvaro, Yves Edwards, Gideon Ray and Micah Miller. Most of the fighters have competed in the UFC and other top organizations.
An online feed of the event, which is available in both English and Portuguese, will be available for $14.95. However, if fans purchase the event during a pre-sale that begins Aug. 21, the cost is just $9.95.
Gurgel, a former UFC fighter who now fights for the organization’s biggest rival (Strikeforce), opened the JG MMA Academy in West Chester after attending Wright State University.
