And that's the end of the fight!
That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Bob Smith.
I think Smith has won this one but let's see what the judges have to say. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Viktor Kabal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jak Progresso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Progresso's choice of entrance music: Dance Hall Days. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
