Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nico Crenshaw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jayden Rolin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

A really sloppy takedown attempt there from Willing.
As the round comes to an end the crowd are showing their appreciation for a great round of action.
Willing throws an overhand right that lands on Gable's shoulder, as Gable tries to avoid the shot.
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 Dan Gable.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Gable, winning every round. Will the judges agree? They are the ones who matter, even if they are often depressingly incompetent. 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 Russell Pearce scores the fight 30:27
Judge Eddie Farnsworth scores the fight 30:27
Judge Steve Montenegro scores the fight 30:27
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Dan Gable!
