Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Anton Seeberg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sir Jecht (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Wooooo! Give it up for these two warriors! They are putting on a show!
Bruno Silva has stepped it up - he knows he needs a finish here!
The referee asks Bobby politely if he wouldn't mind getting on with it and actually doing something. Bobby prefers to stall for the moment though.
And that's the end of the fight!
James Bobby comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Bobby has outworked and out performed his opponent in all aspects of the game today. He was simply too good and the decision should be no more than a formality. 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 Thiago Cunha scores the fight 27:30
Judge Leandro Rodrigues scores the fight 27:30
Judge Paulo Santos scores the fight 27:30
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... James Bobby!
James Bobby seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.
