If my scoring is correct, this round is for all the marbles as each gladiator has one round.

Johnson comes out and gets another takedown, but it’s Torres who is more active once they’re on the ground. Miguel lands a few elbows off his back and totally neutralizes any attempt by Mighty Mouse to improve his position, but he’s still got his back on the canvas and that might be enough for Demetrious in the judges’ eyes (of course, who knows with those jokers).

Torres makes a strong showing off his back and then puts a final flourish on with about 100 seconds remaining, flipping the script such that Mighty Mouse’s back is to canvas. From there, he peppers Demetrious with shots to the body and adds knees to the equation once he moves to half guard.

A few shots to the head force Johnson to take evasive maneuvers and Torres clamps on to his adversary’s neck in the process. Demetrious frees himself and clamors back to his feet before both men finish the final stanza hell bent for leather.

I’d give that last round to Torres (10-9), but it’s gonna be close whoever wins.

Demetrious Johnson defeats Miguel Torres by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28).

 

The crowd hates the decision, but it was totally reasonable. I had Torres winning, but it was FAR from decisive.
