Tournament 77: Grand Slam Launch - Round 3

"The Chosen One" Damo made a compelling case for himself as an emerging favourite in Round 3, advancing from his Grand Slam Launch match with "The Hitman" DECEPTION with surprising ease! The_Purple_Bunny breezed through the Third Round as well, executing a second MAX Damage win over a hopelessly out of his depth KurtAngle!

Top two seeds ElJobber and "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile were comfortable in their Third Round victories. Only "American Nightmare" LordSkarlet found himself stretched, under performing in his clash with Canadian Olympic stand-out Jerrod! LordSkarlet will need to compose himself if he's going to resist the momentum being built by Damo!

KFL Champion Mime scored payback against his Supercard 87: End Of Days opponent: "The Predator" TonyTheTiger! Their rivalry goes all the way back to last year's All-Star Summer Showdown, where TTT got the better of The United fighter. The fated grudge match swung decisively back in favour of the KFL champ - a comprehensive win!

In the biggest twist of the Third Round: Shinnokxz and unlikely Round 3 competitor Ghrimm fought to an inconclusive draw! The unexpected result means Poasty will be gifted a bye in the next round, walking into the Quarter Finals thanks to his convincing win over MKMaster!
