Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Riessig Slade (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Sansario (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Slade might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Conan The Destroyer. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Slade scores with a leg kick.
We've seen a great period of action over the last minute or so - credit to both fighters for going all out!
Slade drops Sansario with a huge uppercut! Sansario drops to the floor like a sack of potatoes. Slade is raining down punches and the ref stops the fight! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:38 of round 3, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Riessig Slade!
