Boooooooooooooooooooo!!! God, this has been a terrible round. Come on you two, sort yourselves out!#SUB#
Massey tries for a kimura. Not really close to a finish though.
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 Mike Massey.
Well Massey has outscored his opponent in every aspect of the fight today. Only a scarily incompetent judge or two will keep him from a well deserved win... Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Cecil Peabody scores the fight 30:27
Judge Daniel Franklin scores the fight 30:27
Judge Wesley Smith scores the fight 30:27
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Mike Massey!
