The second round was much better on Carmont’s part as he probably got the better what was a round filled with striking exchanges.

‘Jacare’ found himself on Carmont’s back for the majority of round 3, just as it were in the first stanza. Once again there was a couple of near Rear-Naked choke attempts but the Frenchman fought out of them admirably.
