Interesting fight. Gurgel took control early, and probably won round 1. But rounds 2 and 3, Fujii took over the fight and dominated, particularly in terms of control and submissions. Then late in the 4th and the 5th, Gurgel came back on strong and took back the fight. Most of the fight’s damage was done here. This might have been an interesting 10 rounder. Maybe we’ll see that in the future...

Interesting fight. Gurgel took control early, and probably won round 1. But rounds 2 and 3, Fujii took over the fight and dominated, particularly in terms of control and submissions. Then late in the 4th and the 5th, Gurgel came back on strong and took back the fight. Most of the fight’s damage was done here. This might have been an interesting 10 rounder. Maybe we’ll see that in the future...
