EFN 3 took place this past weekend in Malaysia. There were two tournaments taking place, both in the 154lb weight class. The winner of each tournament would move on to compete in 4-man tournament as part of the King's Birthday in December.
The Group A tournament saw Sean Kearney demolish his opposition to earn his spot in the King's Birthday tournament. In his semi-final bout he put constant pressure on Teerapong Kiatkorvit, eventually finishing him in the second round with a barrage of knees. In the tournament final he faced Aiman Redarmy and it didn't take long for Kearney to establish his dominance. He delivered elbows and knees with bad intentions. It was another barrage of knees that sent Aiman down in the first round and secured the win for Kearney.
In Group B 18 year old Maroof Ozcan scored a fabulous KO over Mostafa Ashouri with a left hook in the second round of their semi-final bout. Bow Suweilek out pointed Vladimir Shulyak in the other semi-final bout to set up the Group B final. Suweilek used the clinch to stifle Ozcan in the tournament final and after controlling the first two rounds Ozcan came alive in the final frame, but unfortunately for him it was too little too late.
Kearney and Suweilek now join Changpuek of Thailand and Gabriel Mazzetti from Peru for the King's Birthday 4-man tournament.
