Wittchen scores with a three punch combo!
Wittchen throws a combination but comes up with nothing but fresh air.
Babcock takes a big uppercut there. He seems a bit wobbly but no, he's OK.
Babcock is rocked!
Babcock wants to stay close but Wittchen steps back to make room for something. Babcock seems frozen to the spot and bam! huge swing of the leg from Wittchen and Babcock drops like he has been shot! A huge head kick and it's all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:39 of round 3, we have a winner by way of KO (Head Kick). Schnee Wittchen!
A very excited looking Schnee Wittchen made sure he remembered to thank all the fans both in the arena and on the internet. He said all the coolest people spend all day on MMA websites, which got a big reaction.
