Rafael Lovato Jr. beat Riccardo Evangelista at Tezos WNO 20: Night of Champions on Oct. 1 at the Bayou Music Center in Houston and he did it in style. 

Lovato, who scored a victory earlier this year at WNO 18, submitted Evangelista using a triangle submission. After the match, the veteran grappler politely called out WNO Men's light heavyweight champion Pedro Marinho for a championship match. The two were supposed to compete at WNO 20, but Marinho pulled out with an injury.

If Lovato does indeed get the match, he deserved it with a nifty submission at an event which featured a card full of championship matches.
