LAS VEGAS – James Terry’s quiet but steady ascent up Strikeforce’s welterweight ranks hit a snag – in controversial fashion – against Nah-Shon Burrell.
While Burrell was the more dangerous fighter, Terry was more complete and scored frequently with takedowns. However, Burrell ultimately earned a controversial split-decision win.
The preliminary-card fight was part of “Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine” and aired on Showtime Extreme.
