And that's the end of the fight!
Frank Martin showed his dominance in that final round.
Well Martin has outscored his opponent in every aspect of the fight today. Only a scarily incompetent judge or two will keep him from a well deserved win... 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 Eddie Farnsworth scores the fight for Frank Martin!
Judge Dean Styles scores the fight for Frank Martin!
Judge Lou da Vinci scores the fight for Frank Martin!

Frank Martin wins by unanimous decision!

A very excited looking Frank Martin 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.
