Conway with a poor takedown
and Earl counters with a nice shoot takedown that brings the fighters to the ground.
Earl drops back for a leg here. A bit of a high risk move... He's looking for a kneebar by the looks of things. Now both of them are looking for submissions. Earl seems to have locked his on tight now - Conway screams in pain and taps out furiously! It certainly was a high risk move but it's paid off for Earl, as he picks up the win!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:23 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kneebar). Bobby Earl!
