Takayanagi passes the guard and advances to mount!
And that's the end of the fight!
That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Meguru Takayanagi.
I think Chouncheun has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. 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 Dillan Fox scores the fight 28:29
Judge Gregory Folan scores the fight 28:29
Judge Elvis Blanc scores the fight 28:29
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Timpurhkhum Chouncheun!
Timpurhkhum Chouncheun made sure to mention his sponsor, Vandal Fight Boutique & Laundry in his post fight interview.
