He's now in Haley's guard. Nice move by Bee!#REVB# Fantastic stuff here - a very entertaining period of action, which has drawn cheers from the crowd. Bee stops Haley from standing up. #SUB# Haley is looking for a guillotine. You can't force these things though and Bee defends well. Rogelio Haley has stepped it up - he knows he needs a finish here!#ES# Haley manages to wriggle out and sneak his way back up to his feet, so the fighters are now clinched up against the cage.
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 Rogelio Haley. I think Bee has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. 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 Robert Twigg scores the fight 28:29 Judge Wesley Smith scores the fight 28:29 Judge Gwen Towbar scores the fight 28:29
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Dave Bee!
