choppra is stalling here. amber is in no mood to hang around though. He's locked up a kimura from the bottom! choppra seems to be keeping calm but he's forced to roll out of the hold and amber has ended up in side control on the top. Nice work.
amber remains in side control and seems content to stay there. It's a versatile position from which he can work both strikes and submissions, whilst maintaining that control, so maybe he'll sit here for a while.
Let's hope that amber has the urge to step up the pace any second now because for the last 15 or 20 seconds he's just been holding on tight.
choppra is trying to control amber's posture but amber avoids it.
The crowd applaud the fighters efforts here as the round comes to an end.
amber creates a bit of distance and throws down some hard shots.
choppra can't do much from the bottom here.
And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to mr amber.
I think amber has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
