Noons: Gurgel Might Try and Take Me Down

Aug 21, 2010

There is no lack of confidence in Karl James Noons' way of thinking. Noons -- who faces Jorge Gurgel at Strikeforce "Houston" this Saturday -- has his sights set on the promotion's lightweight and welterweight divisions, as well as another run in pro boxing.

In this Sherdog.com video exclusive, the dual-discipline athlete explains why he thinks Gurgel -- a jiu-jitsu black belt notorious for keeping his fights on its feet -- might try and take him down.

Strikeforce "Houston" airs live on Showtime at 10 p.m. ET, and two undercard bouts will stream live on Sherdog.com at 9 p.m. ET.
