Willbuck is working really hard to secure the rear naked choke. Li defends successfully for a significant amount of time. Both fighters are looking very determined.
And that's the end of the fight!
That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Wu Li.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Li, 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 Daniel Franklin scores the fight 30:27
Judge Gwen Towbar scores the fight 30:27
Judge Frank Dennis scores the fight 30:27
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Wu Li! |
