Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Smokudju Womba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Codi Gale (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Womba's entrance music is Ludacris - Blueberry Yum Yum. A fine choice. Gale has chosen Gravity kills - Guilty as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Oh but Womba is tightening it up a little... Gale has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight! Gale reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a matter of seconds! YES! Gale taps out! Nice BJJ there by Womba!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:57 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Smokudju Womba!
Smokudju Womba retains his light heavyweight title!
Smokudju Womba really struggled to get his t-shirt on before his hand was raised. Making sure that Syndicate Nutrition (DUS) logo gets some air time is pretty tricky when you're all sweaty.
