And that’s the end of the round – the fighters go back to their corners.
A close second round but Diego Simeone will probably get the nod - 10:9. The cut man is working on Pebble Braithweight's cut. The corners get their ten second warning. Both fighters stand from their stools and stare eachother down, ready to get back to the action. And we move into the final round!

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Terry Tonbridge (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Patrick McGillicutty (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tonbridge comes into the arena with The Cumshots - I Drink Alone blaring out of the sound system. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Patrick McGillicutty was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
