Once he got rolling, Adam Townsend wasn’t going to be denied.

Townsend survived a rough start to dominate Marcus Edwards down the stretch en route to a third-round stoppage victory in the Legacy Fighting Alliance 5 headliner at the 1stBank Center in Broomfield, Colo., on Friday night. The end came 4:53 into round three as Townsend pummeled his foe with ground-and-pound from back mount.

For a moment, it appeared that Townsend’s night would end in early disappointment. Edwards dazed his foe with a head kick early in round one and swarmed for a finish against the fence with punches and knees.
