Te Huna is still content just beating him up without really going in for the kill. Te Huna gets a pathetically effortless takedown! Can’t do much with it and back on the feet Te Huna tries for a Single Leg, but it’s as bad as the Double he got earlier and can’t get Beltran down this time. Te huna keeps the same, calm pace. He could have finished this fight early in the first round but, doesn’t seem to have any interest. Beltran makes him pay and lands a big shot at the end.
Round 3 – Beltran fearlessly comes out slugging but Te Huna is just too much, but again, doesn’t seem to want the finish. Beltran beats Te Huna up against the cage and forced Te Huna to try for a takedown but he’s just no good at it. Another pathetic takedown but he gets it. Te Huna still can’t do anything on the ground and they’re back up. Te Huna’s wrestling is god-awful. Just terrible. Beltran’s defense is no better. Beltran gets a well-timed takedown! They work back up and Beltran is connecting. Slugfest to end the fight!
