Phill Bunce has stuffed three takedown attempts in the round now. That's going to take a lot out of Sailor Gracie. Bunce connects with a crisp jab. We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up. Bunce lands a vicious shot with the stealth of a sniper and the strength of a viper. Are vipers that strong? I can think of lots of things that are stronger than a viper - not many rhyme with sniper though.

Bunce is strutting round the canvas like a movie star as the camera bulbs flash frantically.
