Hatsu Hioki vs. Bart Palaszewski

Bart has had a ton of fights.   Last fight I saw of his, he knocked out Tyson Griffin after Griffin came in heavy. This shit is brought to you by full metal jousting.  Jeez.  talk about a ghetto advertisement.  If we’re going to bring back medieval sports, the first one should be bear baiting.  You know, something it would be entertaining to bet on.  Hatsu is a veteran from Sengoku.  Not well known, but a truly great featherweight.

Round 3- Bart knows he needs to win this round  so he comes out swinging.  Hioki has Bart against the cage and is able to trip him and get him to the ground.  Going for the arm triangle, but Bart is defending nicely.  Hioki is landing some hammerfists.  Hioki trying to pass guard and is able to get into sideguard.  Has a mounted crucifix and is landing elbows and a lot of punches.  Bart tries to spin and Hioki gets his back.  Hioki has the body triangle tight and is going for the rear naked,  but Bart is holding on to his hands.  Nice elbow by Hioki, who is doing a lot of damage.  Hatsu pulls Bart to the ground and is landing elbows.  He’s got the rear naked, but it’s up too high.  Hioki lands a trio of elbows to the ear as the round ends.
