Decision

Sidey was clearly the faster, slicker and more active striker of the two in the first two rounds and also was mixing in some nice takedowns too, albeit without too much meaningful control time on top. Then in the final five minutes he played it safe and looked to just steer clear of Smotherman, who tried to get something going on the feet, which proved to be too little, too late. Sidey wins by unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28 x2).
