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.
