Makoniko is trying hard to land a takedown here. Sullivan sprawls well and keeps this one on the feet. That's three failed takedown attempts in the round for Jason Makoniko. That's going to take a lot out of him. A telegraphed takedown attempt from Makoniko is defended easily by Sullivan.
And that's the end of the fight! Jason Makoniko showed his dominance in that final round. I think Sullivan has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
