In a fight that was great for the couple minutes it lasted, Evangelista “Cyborg” Santos pulled off an upset victory over Marius Zaromskis at Strikeforce: Los Angeles.

Cyborg landed powerful leg kicks to set Zaromskis up, and big punches to wobble him. After taking a couple of punches, a frustrated Zaromskis made a big mistake, coming in out of control with a flying knee that Cyborg was ready for. With Zaromskis flying out of control, Cyborg leveled him with a huge punch, then landed two more on the ground before referee Herb Dean stepped in to stop it, just two minutes, 38 seconds into the first round.

Renato LOS ANGELES – It wasn’t exactly a definitive ending, but Renato “Babalu” Sobral did just enough to edge out Robbie Lawler in the main event of Strikeforce: Live at the Nokia Theater in a rare Wednesday night event.

The catchweight bout turned out to be a back-and-forth affair, with Sobral doing more damage from distance and Lawler trying to load up for the one blow that would end it all.

While Lawler was successful in avoiding most of Sobral’s takedowns, virtually negating the ground game entirely down the stretch, he wasn’t quite as effective in the striking exchanges, and the result was all three judges scoring the bout 29-28 in favor of Sobral.
