There's a bit of a scramble here and now Mortimer is on top in guard.
Mortimer wants to control from the top but Krook keeps moving.
Krook has his feet on Mortimer's thighs here. He's pushed Mortimer off and worked for a very quick armbar from the bottom! He's flipped onto his stomach and he's cranking hard on the arm! Mortimer screams in pain and taps out! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:55 of round 4, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Kalle Krook!
Kalle Krook is the new light heavyweight champion!
Kalle Krook gave a mention to GTI - 1337 sponsors VERSUS in his post fight interview. That will please them (and hopefully generate some sales).
