And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Abdel Mumu.
I think Mumu 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 5 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Sam Margolis scores the fight 47:48
Judge James Ackerman scores the fight 45:50
Judge James Glass scores the fight 47:48

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Abdel Mumu!
Abdel Mumu is the new welterweight champion!
A very excited looking Abdel Mumu made sure he remembered to thank all the fans both in the arena and on the internet. He said all the coolest people spend all day on MMA websites, which got a big reaction.
