We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up.
Greenebaum has managed to work for a loose triangle. I think Ravage should be able to defend this one pretty easily though. Oh, Greenebaum has tightened it up now! Ravage should have reacted faster there - he's in big trouble and yes, he's tapped out! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:58 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Lorne Greenebaum!
Lorne Greenebaum decided to hype himself up post fight. It was going well but he went on about it a bit too long and the crowd turned on him a little.
