BAMMA 33 results: Ryan Scope claims lightweight title, Aaron Chalmers calls out Baby Slice

BAMMA crowned a new lightweight champion when Ryan Scope edged out former UFC fighter Mikael Lebout after three rounds in the main event Friday night in Newcastle.

The championship win saw UK standout Scope get back to his winning ways following his first career loss to Lew Long in May.

UFC veteran Lebout controlled the pace of the first round. Although he marched Scope down, it appeared as though the Brit did a lot more damage than his opponent when the duo returned to their corners between rounds.

The fight sprang into action in the second when Lebout rocked the Englishman with a left overhand.
