http://www.mmarmy.com/legend_fight_display.php?id=8223Bubbles confidence in his standup grows with every round as he stares down a huge strike to the jaw and then asks for more!

Bubbles via 4th round TKO.
FIGHT 4
http://www.mmarmy.com/legend_fight_display.php?id=8224With his back to the wall and the championship series on the line Collins comes out swinging and after a multitude of strikes he has Bubbles on the ropes but ultimately cannot finish before the round ends. Bubbles controls the 2nd round with his wrestling and grappling but Rounds 3 and 4 both fighters come out swinging again. The final round is the same story for most of this championship series where a game Branden Collins, the more experienced striker gets beat in the striking game as he seems too weary of the take downs. When Bubbles does take him down he imposes his will on him where Collins has no answer.
