Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Roberto Soldic (ranked 1266 p4p, 743 weight class) and Lorenzo Benedetti (ranked 149 p4p, 93 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Soldic might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Come With Me. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

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 Demir Kocak.
I think Kocak 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 Steve Montenegro scores the fight 29:28
Judge Jonathan Paton scores the fight 29:28
Judge Chad Campbell scores the fight 29:28
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Demir Kocak!
An out of breath Demir Kocak thanked his loyal fans in his post fight interview, giving them credit for his success over the course of his career.
