Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Asa Sharp (ranked 1013 p4p, 154 weight class) and Steve Sunderland (ranked 3335 p4p, 474 weight class). Sunderland is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Shin Godzilla OST - The Offensive. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Steve Sunderland was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Lancaster fails with an attempt to clinch.
Lancaster cracks Vermeulen on the jaw with a powerful right hand and Vermeulen falls backwards against the cage. Lancaster follows up with more strikes that drop Vermeulen to his knees. Lancaster keeps the pressure on and the referee jumps in to save Vermeulen! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:56 of round 3, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Cedric Lancaster !
Cedric Lancaster tried to hype himself up post fight but didn't word it too well and it ended up with him sounding like a bit of a tool.
