Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Roy Royler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeggu Bomb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Royler feints and then cracks Bomb's leading leg with a nice low kick. He's obviously looking to slow Bomb down.
Royler cracks Bomb with a hook to the temple - Bomb is on wobbly legs here! Royler swarms him with hook after hook, landing with each one! Bomb falls to the canvas face first and the referee dives in to stop the fight! Royler wins by TKO!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:49 of round 3, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punches). Roy Royler!
Roy Royler retains his middleweight title!
