==History==
''UFC 3'' used an eight-man [[tournament]] format, with the winner receiving $60,000. The tournament had no weight classes or weight limits. Each match had no time limit or rounds; therefore no judges were used for the night.

This was the first UFC tournament that was not won by [[Royce Gracie]] (who could not continue due to fatigue). After Jennum won the ''UFC 3'' tournament as an alternate, the UFC instituted alternate qualifying bouts to balance out fatigue, and lessen the advantage that alternates previously had entering the tournament without fighting quarterfinal bouts.
