Wilcox looking for submissions from the bottom here. Moving his hips around, possibly looking for an armbar.
Sackett stopping the sweep attempt from Wilcox. The crowd applaud the fighters efforts here as the round comes to an end. Sackett is working Wilcox over from the guard. He should look to pass the guard and do a little more damage with these strikes.
And that's the end of the fight! Logan Sackett showed his dominance in that final round. Well Sackett 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 5 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision. Judge Suge Night scores the fight 50:45 Judge Timothy Bukovac scores the fight 48:48 Judge Jack Bonds scores the fight 47:48
The fight is ruled a draw! Logan Sackett retains his title. It's always disappointing when a championship fight ends as a draw but that's what happens when you leave the fight in the judges hands!
