Alexander on the receiving end of some nice ground and pound.
Alexander is still in real trouble! Can Imperial finish him?
Imperial lands a big elbow from half guard. That looks like it's hurt Alexander quite badly. Alexander pulls Imperial in close trying to recover. Imperial postures up and lands two really hard shots that put Alexander on queer street! The ref takes a look and decides to call an end to the fight! Possibly an early stoppage but Alexander doesn't seem to be complaining too much.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:56 of round 3, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). The Imperial!
