Latest flyweight addition
Gurule defeated Nick Piccininni via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) at Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. After the show, he was one of four fighters to be awarded an official UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
This is the classic case of the judges having to decide whether to value striking or grappling, and in this one, striking won out. Gurule was credited with the edge in strikes deemed "significant" in all three rounds (although Round 3 was tight), while Piccininni fired off an astonishing 20 takedowns over the course of the fight, landing 10 of them. In Round 3, it was Gurule that preferred to engage on the feet and even pointed to the mat, to which Piccininni responded with another takedown attempt. Given the respective styles, and the fact that finishing weights are lower in the lower weight classes, it makes more sense to see why White would award a contract to a 30-year-old who wasn't necessarily dominant in his big opportunity.
