Quirez is really dominating this fight. Is there anything that Wha can do to turn this around?
Boooooooooooooooooooo!!! God, this has been a terrible round. Come on you two, sort yourselves out!#TD#
Quirez has Wha pressed up against the cage. He's trying to work for a single leg takedown. Quirez pulls back from the cage and twists to the side, sending Wha tumbling to the mat - Quirez dives into Wha's guard.
Wha wants to get back to his feet but he's too absorbed in his own little project and Quirez manages to pass to side control.
And that's the end of the fight!
So Wha comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Quirez has outscored his opponent in every aspect of the fight today. Only a scarily incompetent judge or two will keep him from a well deserved win... Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
