Reflecting on the matchup, Kit Yeung COO had this say:

“It was an exciting match. Fighters and coaches immediately requested and accepted a rematch. It couldn't have been an easier decision here, We Run It Back!”

Act III hosts no shortage of momentum from previous showings. Jason Melendez, another star and veteran of the AFL banner returns from giving a crowd pleasing spinning back kick KO
