Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Cristi Radu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aydine Antona (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Antona has chosen Laid to Rest by Lamb of God as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Antona misses with a jab and misses with a cross straight after too.
And that's the end of the fight!
Aydine Antona comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
I think Radu 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 Felipe Paraventi scores the fight 29:28
Judge Luis Engracia scores the fight 29:28
Judge Alexandre Firmino scores the fight 29:28
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Cristi Radu !
