Evangelista Tops Gurgel at Strikeforce Challengers



Billy Evangelista tops Jorge Gurgel in a close fight with action from bell to bell.  After a questionable stand up in the second round Evangelista was caught flush on the chin by a high kick from Gurgel that sent him to the mat. After Billy was rocked he shot in for a takedown only to wind up in a guillotine choke from Gurgel to end the round. Evangelista survived the choke and clinched the last round with a takedown in the final seconds to take the fight via UD.
