Olivier Busquet used a rain of vicious ground-and-pound strikes to mash JC Alvarado's face, vanquishing his opponent with a corner stoppage at the end of the third round in their highly anticipated mixed martial arts clash.
The bout, which was agreed upon shortly after Busquet put out a challenge to the poker world on Twitter in September 2015, commenced after six months of training. Busquet was coming in as the bigger man, agreeing to a fight weight of 187.5, while Alvarado had to make 165.
Nonetheless, according to the terms of the scrap, Alvarado was coming in as the favorite as he put up $150,000 against Busquet's $120,000.
