And that's the end of the fight!
Richard Chivers comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Chivers has outworked and out performed his opponent in all aspects of the game today. He was simply too good and the decision should be no more than a formality. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.

Carty closes the distance and scores a nice trip takedown into half guard. Clayton did well to prevent Carty getting side control.
Carty is figuring out what he wants to do next.#SUB2#
Carty is working for a submission here. He's got hold of the far side arm and he's looking for a kimura. He's cranking on the arm and he's got it! Clayton is tapping out! Ouch, that looked like it hurt!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:24 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Nathan Carty!
