    In a match that proved closer than most could have foreseen, rising Strikeforce star Tyron Woodley defeated Nate Coy by split decision at Strikeforce Challengers VIII on Friday. The heavy favorite going in, Woodley looked to use his superior wrestling to force the fight to the ground.

The final scorecards read 29-28 Woodley, 29-28 Woodley, and 30-27 Coy.
