Tournament 78: Grand Prix Warm-Up - Round 3:

The bloodletting continued in Round 3 as the toll of Tournament 78: Grand Prix Warm-Up sent yet another soul to the injured list! This time it was EasterBunny who suffered an end to his UGP dream, taken out in a brutal +24 decimation by "Chosen One" Damo!

The perils associated with fighting this close to Ultimate Grand Prix were once again on display for all to see. The two champions competing became the two big upsets of Round 3 as #2 seed and KFL Champion CaTigeReptile suffered a stunning upset at the hands of Jerrod, and Division 2 Champ Poasty was wrestled out of the running in a close-fought contest with AlbertBeefcake!

The remaining favourites all looked strong as they advanced to Round 4: "American Nightmare" LordSkarlet emerged as a frontrunner with an impressive win against G0LD, matched by a strong win for "The Hitman" DECEPTION against Benjamin! Mime shot up the list of prospective winners as well with his second MAX Damage win of the tournament against PaganFreak!

#1 seed Genku set up an intriguing Fourth Round contest with returned Hall of Famer Oozaru. He roughed up one-time tournament upstart Loopster. The hopes of the Hall of Fame were also kept alive by Mimik, who earned a solid victory against a Jason_Voorhees who's been going from strength to strength since Tower of Power XVIII! Mimik will meet old nemesis TonyTheTiger in Round 4 -- a match everyone will want to watch!
