Enrique Molito has stepped it up - he knows he needs a finish here!
This is a great period of action - very entertaining stuff!
Armstrong will need to close the distance a bit before he attacks - that leg kick was thrown from too far away.
Armstrong moves out of range of the body kick.
Armstrong dives in for a single leg takedown but Molito sprawls and the fighters end up clinched against the cage.
Molito breaks the clinch and we return to the middle of the mat.
And that's the end of the fight!

I think Armstrong has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
