Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Matt Green (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thiago Pereira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Green might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Can you hear me now - Hollywood Undead. Thiago Pereira will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.

Pereira doesn't land with the attempted body shot.
Pereira is pressed up against the cage. Green has hold of a leg and is looking to drag Pereira down to the mat. Pereira avoids the attempt though and has circled away. We're back to striking at a distance.
That's three failed takedown attempts in the round for Matt Green. That's going to take a lot out of him.
Whack! Pereira lands a heavy head kick that drops Green. The ref tackles Pereira to stop the fight - a great save by the referee because Green was done.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:43 of round 3, we have a winner by way of TKO (Head Kick). Thiago Pereira!
Thiago Pereira is the new light heavyweight champion!
An out of breath Thiago Pereira thanked his loyal fans in his post fight interview, giving them credit for his success over the course of his career.
