Shaman lets the fists fly and connects with a left straight followed by a right hook. #ROC#
Bomba is rocked!
Shaman fakes a right and follows up with a big left that drops Bomba to one knee - oooooh, he's wobbly! Bomba looks to clinch but Shaman throws him off and pummels him into the canvas! Bomba taps out under the strikes! The fight is over!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:29 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Strikes). Blind Shaman!
An intense looking Blind Shaman took to the microphone post fight and gave a little speech: 'When my mother gave birth to me in the forests I was struggling so much that I wrapped my own mothers neck tightly with my embilical chord. End in end, I had to bust my embilical chord by tightening heavily....I earnt my freedom and it cost me my own mother. Matador mightt have felt like this.'.
