Roger Carroll fell short of giving his family a sweep at Xtreme Fighting Championship 19 on Friday night.

Carroll dropped a unanimous decision to Nicolae Cury in a fight both men took on just a day’s notice. The fight between the two judo and jiu-jitsu black belts was close, and the crowd seemed to side with Carroll, the home favorite. But the judges gave the slight nod to Cury, a “Blackzilians”-trained fighter.

XFC 19 took place at Charlotte’s Grady Cole Center with a main card that aired live on AXS TV.
