the series of clutches that Australian fighter Reece McLaren landed, the

The duel between Streigl and McLaren is the fight for
the Bantamweight Division title. Although Streigl dominated in the first two
round of the battle, he tapped out on a rear-naked choke during the heated
third round of clash.
The defeat was not expected by many after Streigl
showed brilliance in his offensive surge in rounds one and two. He even landed
a big kick right in the face of McLaren and a sharp elbow to his opponent’s
head.
However, those hard hits by Streigl only awakened the
Aussie fighter and came alive to win in the third round.
For McLaren, the win gave him his third straight
victory and improved his MMA record to 8 wins and 3 losses. Meanwhile, Streigl
fell down to his second loss in his pro career with 14 wins.
