Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Douglas Quaid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Krusty Klown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Quaid kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Metallica - For Whom the Bell Tolls. Klown has chosen Throw up ya gunz as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

No joy there for Dagani, who threw a few shots but didn't land.
Dagani lands a hook that stumbles Kenny back into the cage. Dagani follows up with a straight and another hook that land right on the button, dropping Kenny to the canvas! Dagani pounces and lands several unanswered shots - Kenny has had enough and taps out! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:16 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Strikes). Max Dagani!
