Morales sneaks a leg under to get to half guard.
And that's the end of the fight!
Kunwa Jiki showed his dominance in that final round.
I think Jiki 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 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Radbod Blank scores the fight 29:28
Judge Albert Achterberg scores the fight 29:28
Judge Paulsen Ambrosius scores the fight 29:28
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Kunwa Jiki!
