Jiang is trying to wear down his opponent with knees to the body.
Jiang creates a bit of space for himself and rocks Veainu with a big uppercut! Veainu tries to clinch up but Jiang pushes him back against the cage and lands another monster strike that crumples Veainu to the mat! Veainu covers up and Jiang unloads with more strikes until the referee steps in to end the bout!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:26 of round 3, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punches). Da Jiang!
