Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Jarvis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trevor Tuffs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Tuffs has chosen Korn Blind as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Activin scores with a jab. Michaels acknowledges it with a nod of the head.
We've seen a great period of action over the last minute or so - credit to both fighters for going all out!
Activin shoots in for a takedown and gets it. Let's see what he's got on the mat.
Activin is working Michaels over from the guard. He should look to pass the guard and do a little more damage with these strikes.
Activin drops back looking for a submission - "I'm sorry sir, but I'm gunna break your leg" says Activin as he cranks on the unfortunate limb! Michaels screams and taps out before any major damage is done! Don't mess with Activin! Nice submission victory there!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:34 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kneebar). George Activin! George Activin retains his light heavyweight title!
