Ishikawa with good strikes from the mount here!
McPot is rocked!
Oooooh, big shot lands for Ishikawa! McPot is hurt baaadly! Ishikawa is firing away with more strikes - McPot is covering up... the ref is warning him to do something. He's just covering up though still and the ref has to step in to end the fight! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:40 of round 3, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Bushi Ishikawa!
Bushi Ishikawa is the new bantamweight champion!
