Kitano is trying to escape the mount.
Slick has his opponent pinned against the cage, landing some nasty ground and pound that is really making a bit of a mess out of Kitano's face.
Kitano has left one of his arms exposed and Slick doesn't need a second invitation. He's isolated it and locked on a tight armbar. Kitano screams and taps out, obviously in a lot of pain. Hopefully there isn't permanent damage to that arm.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:02 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Oil Slick!
Oil Slick retains his welterweight title!
