A swing and a miss from Obliteratii.
Bashorov shoots in from a long way out. He's driving through with the takedown attempt and he eventually gets it, landing in Obliteratii's guard.
Obliteratii is working actively off his back, looking to secure an arm or perhaps work for a triangle.
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 Karim Bashorov.
I think Bashorov has won this one but let's see what the judges have to say. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 5 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Timothy Bukovac scores the fight 49:46
Judge Jack Bonds scores the fight 49:46
Judge Frank Antenori scores the fight 47:49
In favor of your winner, by split decision... Karim Bashorov!
Karim Bashorov retains his middleweight title!
A relieved looking Karim Bashorov thanked the fans for their support and gave the usual line about them being amazing. They seemed to believe that he actually meant it.
