This has been an exciting period of action!
Gallagher is trying to get back to his feet but can't.

Gimenez throws some shoulder strikes here and then postures up. Oh, he's gone for an armbar! Gallagher has his hands clasped together but Gimenez breaks the hold and Gallagher is forced to tap! This one is aaaaaaaaaaall over! That was lightning fast by Gimenez!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:42 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Caio Gimenez!
Caio Gimenez made sure to mention his sponsor, Milwaukee's Best 160 -$100 SALE!!!!!!!!!!!! in his post fight interview.
