That's two minutes gone in the round.
A right hand to the body from Chai.
Chai creates a bit of space for himself and unleashed what can only be described as a tiger uppercut, straight out of Street Fighter! Dalton crashes to the mat! Can he make it back to his feet in time? 3,4,5,6... it doesn't look like he's going to make it! Dalton face plants back to the mat and the referee calls off the fight! Chai takes it with a brutal technical knockout!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:13 of round 3, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punch). Isamu San Chai!
Isamu San Chai is the new light heavyweight champion!
During a confident post fight interview, Isamu San Chai thanked all his fans. He seemed very genuine when describing how motivated his fans keep him.
