When giants face off!

Hunt then compounded his advantage with vicious elbows from the top that had Silva bleeding all over the canvas. Both men came out swinging yet again in round 3 despite the exhausting preceding rounds, with no clear winner.

Silva’s barrage of knees and Hunt’s skull-cracking elbows kept the blood flowing.The shorter heavyweight looked the more tired of the two as he kept dropping his hands inviting Big Foot to dominate. And dominate he did, dropping Hunt in the third only to be stopped by the bell.
