And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Tiago Camilo.
I think Pellinore 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 5 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Leandro Rodrigues scores the fight 48:46
Judge Alexandre Firmino scores the fight 48:46
Judge Thiago Cunha scores the fight 48:46
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Tor Pellinore!
Tor Pellinore retains his super heavyweight title!
A very excited looking Tor Pellinore made sure he remembered to thank all the fans both in the arena and on the internet. He said all the coolest people spend all day on MMA websites, which got a big reaction.
