Journey Fight Series 3 results: Palmer and Embree advance to tournament finals


Journey Fight Series 3 took place at the Century Casino in Calgary, Canada tonight with the focus being on who would advance to the finals of the 140lb tournament.

In the night's first tournament match-up Josh Palmer took on Justin Greskiewicz. Both fighters came in looking to thrill the crowd but it was Palmer who came out on top. In the third round Palmer unleashed a barrage of strikes from the clinch that hurt Greskiewicz and ended the fight at 2:53 of the round with a knee to the body.

In the night's other semi-finals bout Coke Chunhawat and Matt Embree met in a re-match of their September 2010 fight which Coke won by split decision. This time it would be Embree who would get the nod as he defeated Coke by split decision. The fight was close but in the clinch Embree was able to sweep Coke several times which likely gave him the edge on the judges score cards.
