Geraldo is looking for an arm triangle, whilst trying to pass to side control. Reeder doesn't seem that keen to cooperate though. No luck this time Geraldo. #SUB#
Geraldo is looking for a kimura. It's going to be difficult to finish that from half guard though and Reeder defends it well.
If this pace continues, the referee will definitely step in and force a standup.
The crowd thankful this round is nearly over.
Geraldo controlling the action here.#REF3#
The referee has decided to stand the fighters back up, so we'll restart on the feet.
And that's the end of the fight!
Hercille Geraldo showed his dominance in that final round.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Geraldo, 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 Johanna Lukiainen scores the fight 30:28
Judge Matti Vanhoillinen scores the fight 30:27
Judge Arvi Lind scores the fight 30:27
