Blachowicz looks for subs from beneath and the ref repositions them in the center of the ring. After the restart, Blachowicz immediately jumps on top and looks for a heel hook. Tabera tries one of his own. Neither work and the result is Blachowicz back on top in Tabera's open guard. Blachowicz gets a high mount and this time it looks like Tabera's in trouble. Several unanswered punches and Tabera gives up his back. Blachowicz softens him up with a few more shots and goes for the rear-naked choke. Tabera defends and Blachowicz goes back to pounding away on the turtling Spaniard until the ref steps in.

Dowda stands and does the same to Kulak again, and now works from Kulak's guard. Half-guard for Dowda now, and he passes to Kulak's left. Pretty even round, though Dowda got the better of the positions. 10-10.
Round 2: Kulak breathing heavy in his corner as the round starts. Another trip takedown from Kulak yields nothing. He stands over Dowda slapping with leg kicks, then opts to let him up. Dowda with the takedown this time, and Kulak grabs a guillotine on the way down. Doesn't look tight at first, but Kulak wrenches it as he rolls Dowda over. Dowda pops loose and escapes to the feet. Hard knee to the breadbasket by Kulak. Takedown from Dowda, who momentarily gets caught in a triangle on the floor. He pops free and passes to side control on Kulak. 10-9 Kulak for his sub attempts.
Round 3: Early choke attempt from Kulak as he's mashed into a post. Dowda breaks loose and winds up in the guard of Kulak, who's looking for an armbar or omoplata. No dice. Dowda stands and grabs a guillotine which Kulak easily escapes from. Bell rings and Kulak raises his arms in celebration. With his submission attempts and not much offense from Dowda, he's probably right. 10-9 Kulak.

Sowinski sweeps with 3:30 left. Side control for Sowinski now. Van Bergen swings his hips and grabs an armbar that he can't finish, but which allows him to take top position again. Van Bergen gets another armbar that looks unbelievably tight, but Sowinski somehow refrains from tapping even after being flipped over. Another armbar attempt from Van Bergen, and again Sowinski escapes. Sowinski finds himself in full mount with 45 seconds left on the clock and begins pounding the face of Van Bergen. For whatever reason, Sowinski gives up the position and drops for a leglock, allowing Van Bergen to move back to side control to finish out the round. 10-9 Van Bergen. If the judges agree, we'll go to a third round which will be scored individually.
Round 3: We go to a three-minute final round. Van Bergen comes out on fire and drops Sowinski with big punches, but the action slows as they hit the ground. Van Bergen takes mount... and promptly gets swept. Ref stands them up with 90 seconds left and Van Bergen drops Sowinski again. Actually, Sowinski may have been trying to pull guard, or maybe just fell down. 10-9 Van Bergen.
