Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Brad Rood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shane Richards (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rood comes to the cage accompanied by Enter Sandman, by Metallica. Richards is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Cry me a river - Michael buble. On his way into the cage it seems that Brad Rood has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Brad Rood seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Leads misses with a hook to the body
and Johnson counters with a stiff right hand.
Leads drops Johnson with a straight left! Oh this is bad for Johnson! Leads dives in and starts dropping bombs - the referee has no choice but to step in and save him!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:34 of round 3, we have a winner by way of TKO (strikes). Donald Leads!
