Every fighter has a story behind his story, how he got to where he is. Gerald Harris‘ back story is about good enough to warrant a nickname change from “Hurricane” to “Mr. Persistent.”
Harris had 10 pro fights under his belt when he won a spot on Season 7 of “The Ultimate Fighter in 2008. He won his first fight in the house, but lost his next to eventual champ Amir Sadollah.
Normally, the majority of fighters on TUF seasons get one more crack on the season finale card. But for TUF 7, just five fighters from the show fought on the finale – and Harris wasn’t one of them.
He returned to the relative obscurity of regional shows – but with only one goal in mind: win, win, win and get back to the UFC.
