- Garry Tonon vs. Chael Sonnen

“I’m pumped to be on the card for this event,” Sonnen said. “We started Submission Underground with the goal to determine who the greatest grappler alive is. Now in its third event, we’re giving fans one of the best opportunities to see some of their favorite fighters face off in a submission-only format.”
“After the widely anticipated Jon Jones vs. Dan Henderson match-up during Submission Underground 2, we’re thrilled to announce these exciting submission-only match-ups,” FloSports co-founder and CEO Martin Floreani said. “Submission Underground 3 gives some of the best fighters the unique opportunity to demonstrate their grappling skills, and it will be exciting to see who comes out on top.”
Submission Underground 3, which will be hosted at the Roseland Theater in Portland, will use a cage instead of a grappling mat.
