Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Shane Dunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Weltto Wirtanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Gracie postures up as if he's going to throw some strikes but drops back for an ankle! Peippo is in big trouble! He looks ready to tap! But no, he's escaped and dives on top of Gracie, into his guard.
Gracie has thrown up a leg looking for a triangle. Peippo doesn't defend quickly enough and Gracie has managed to lock this one up! Can Peippo escape?! NO! He's tapping out! Damn, that was a quick submission - congrats to Gracie on a fantastic submission victory.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:44 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Hoger Gracie!
