Bronze lands a couple of elbows.
Boooooooooooooooooooo!!! God, this has been a terrible round. Come on you two, sort yourselves out!
Rush wants to sweep but no luck.
Ronny Rush has stepped it up - he knows he needs a finish here!
Devin Bronze is fighting for a decision - hopefully he's judged it right and he's actually winning the fight.#SUB#
Rush working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Bronze doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Bronze manages to throw the legs off his shoulder and he's back into guard - no problem.
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 Ronny Rush.
I think Bronze has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
