Halilov seems to have got his legs back now.
Halilov on the wrong end of some ground and pound.
A big shot lands for Bera! That's hurt Halilov! Will he recover? Bera fires away with more strikes and the referee has to step in to stop the fight!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:04 of round 5, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Matt Bera!
