Tate Iii paws at his opponent with the jab and then lunges in with a straight, right on the button.

It looks like Sota Sankari has been cut.

Tate Iii clips Sankari with a right and a left that makes him do the chicken dance for a couple of seconds. He touched his left hand down on the canvas so the referee steps between the fighters to give Sankari a standing 8 count before we can continue the bout.
Tate Iii plants his feet and throws a 3 punch combo. Miss, miss, boom! The third punch, a big right hook, connects right on the temple and drops Sankari to the mat, unconscious! This fight is all over! Sankari just couldn't keep out of the way of the whole flurry of punches!
