Taube looking to shoot here. He's gone for it and he's landed a takedown into side control! Oh, that's bad for Furuta!
Wooooo! Give it up for these two warriors! They are putting on a show!

Ambros Taube comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Taube 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.
