Romero is trying to pull guard but Phung has him pressed against the cage.
And that's the end of the fight!
Lee Phung comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
I think Romero has won this one but let's see what the judges have to say. 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 Chris Edwards scores the fight 29:28

Judge James Glass scores the fight 29:28
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Leif Romero!
