Nice shot by Wisk.
Teló is rocked!
That's a knee to de groin and it's over and out! Wisk crumples to the ground after an illegal strike from Teló - the referee stops the clock and Wisk gets 5 minutes to recover from that one. "I'm sorry" says Teló. Wisk manages to get back to his feet and the fight resumes.
Oh Teló is still all over the place! His legs are completely gone! Will he be able to recover?!!
Wisk digs a good hook to Teló's body.
Teló takes a nice looking leg kick right on the meat of his thigh there.
Teló seems to have got his legs back now.
Wisk lunges at Teló with a hook that half lands and is half blocked by Teló's hand.
That's two minutes gone in the round.
Wisk drops a shoulder and throws an uppercut that cracks Teló right on the button. Teló goes down! Wisk follows him to the mat and finishes the job with more strikes! Wisk gets the win via TKO!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:06 of round 3, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). MC Wisk!
MC Wisk decided to go for the less than humble approach in his post fight interview, telling everyone how he is going to conquer the world. The crowd seemed to like it when really that sort of approach could have gone either way.
