I matched them up a third time, Rivero beat JJ Reid three times in three fights.

 

Round 5

Rivero starts the round like a house on fire, hitting three quick jabs and a vicious right hook. Reid covered up well, but at least one of the jabs got through and landed above the left eye. Reid backs up to buy some time, but Rivero keeps coming and lands a right hand to the body. Reid scores with a jab in return, then goes with a kick to the waist. Rivero catches the leg though and quickly rushes forward with a takedown. Reid pulls guard. Reid tries to push free, but Rivero forces him to go back to guard by raining down some jabs. Rivero reaches over and tries to apply some sort of neck vice, but Reid breaks it by bringing his arms up. Rivero steps through in an effort to mount Reid, but can only get to half guard as one of his legs gets trapped. Rivero throws some strikes, then tries to work an armbar on the closest arm. Reid rolls over and uses his free arm to keep that from happening. That goes on for quite a long time, with Rivero determined to try and work the arm free and get an armbar, while Reid uses everything at his disposal to block it. The round ends without Rivero having made the breakthrough, although he clearly ran away with the round in terms of points. End of the round. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Rivero. John Rivero wins the match, getting votes from all three judges. John Rivero successfully retains the World Champion title.
