The fighters' corners scream their final instructions, as the referee calls time. Here we go, back to the action!
Emelianenko feints and then dives in with a takedown. That was a long way out but the feint bought him enough time to close the distance and complete the takedown. Now we'll play guard for a bit and see who can get the better of that position.
alltime has an omoplata and is looking to use it perhaps as a submission or perhaps to transition. Emelianenko is in a bit of discomfort here, but he's managed to free himself and has dived into side control! That didn't work out too well for alltime.
Emelianenko lands a knee to the body and follows it up with some ground and pound to the head. That will wear alltime down.
Andrei Emelianenko has got the better of the ground game so far.
You can see the frustration on alltime's face, being in this tough position on the bottom.
alltime tries to work a leg under to get back to half guard but Emelianenko wriggles his own leg back out and remains in side control.
Emelianenko has worked his way into a potential kimura here. alltime is trying to get out of the position but his squirming has just got him deeper into trouble. Emelianenko yanks on the arm and alltime is forced to tap due to a very painful looking submission! Nice work by Emelianenko.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:03 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Andrei Emelianenko!
Andrei Emelianenko is the new welterweight champion!
