Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Hideo Tokoro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Isidor Sundberg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

And that's the end of the fight!
Abbe Faria comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Faria has outworked and out performed his opponent in all aspects of the game today. He was simply too good and the decision should be no more than a formality. 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 Ben Zyskovitsi scores the fight 28:29
Judge Marco Blurström scores the fight 28:29
Judge Matti Vanhoillinen scores the fight 27:30
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Abbe Faria!
A relieved looking Abbe Faria thanked the fans for their support and gave the usual line about them being amazing. They seemed to believe that he actually meant it.
