The fight was competitive right up until the finish. Talundzic
managed to keep the fight close with his cage control and grappling
pressure. Round 3 also saw the Bosnian control Frunza on the side
of the cage for a considerable amount of time before being
separated by the referee due to inaction.
With barely a few seconds left in the final round, Frunza managed
to land a thudding right elbow on Talundzic that left him wobbled.
From there, the Romanian unleashed a barrage of punches on his
fallen foe to finish the fight at the 4:59 mark of Round 3.
Holy HELL. What a vicious uppercut KO by
Myktybek Orolbai. Absolutely faceplants Hayward Charles.
