Which fighter won the UFC 3 tournament after Royce Gracie withdrew?

Steve Jennum won the UFC 3 tournament after Royce Gracie withdrew from the competition. Jennum defeated Harold Howard in the final at the event in 1994.

UFC 3 was held on September 9, 1994, in Charlotte, North Carolina. Jennum was unusual among the tournament entrants because he won his first bout by walkover after his scheduled opponent could not compete. He then won his semifinal and final fights to claim the title.

Royce Gracie had been the dominant figure at UFC 1 and UFC 2, but he stopped competing after his opening fight at UFC 3 because of exhaustion. The episode helped demonstrate the physical demands of the early tournament system, in which fighters could face several bouts on the same night.
