Combs utilising some decent striking defenses from the guard, preventing the ground and pound. #SUB#
Combs working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Taylor doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Taylor manages to throw the legs off his shoulder and he's back into guard - no problem.
Taylor stands and throws Combs's legs to the side, diving into side control.

And that's the end of the fight!
Jason Taylor comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
I've got Taylor winning every round here. Surely the decision will go his way and he'll pick up a well deserved decision victory. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
