Stone working from the back looking to end the fight with a rear naked choke. Fionn is doing well to defend. Stone seems to have got his hand under the chin though and he's sunk the choke in! Fionn is forced to tap and this one is over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:41 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Keith Stone!
Keith Stone made sure to give a little speech post fight, saying 'I would like to thank the new boss for the chance to fight a guy like Fionn. Now when is my title shot. 185, 205, or both, I dont care. '.
