Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sebastien Chevalier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rolls Romo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Herr Mann.
I think Mann has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Nard Betker scores the fight 28:29
Judge Daniel Blasius scores the fight 28:29
Judge Albert Achterberg scores the fight 28:29
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Herr Mann!
