Joukani connects with a knee to the head.
Joukani lands an uppercut in the clinch that drops Cox to his knees! Joukani keeps firing more shots against his stricken opponent and the referee jumps in to save him!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:30 of round 3, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Rou Joukani!
A less than humble Rou Joukani misjudged his post fight interview somewhat and came across a little too arrogant whilst trying to hype up his own abilities.
