LAS VEGAS – Big-fight veteran Jorge Gurgel promised he was finally going to use his vaunted jiu-jitsu. Joe Duarte had other plans.
The Guam native showed excellent takedown defense and competent
counterstriking on the feet as he earned a unanimous-decision win over
Gurgel.
The bout served as the featured contest of Friday’s Strikeforce
Challengers 18 event, which took place at The Pearl at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
