Bush working over Steller with some ground and pound. Steller looks like he wants out of this position, which is understandable.
Bush winds up and cracks Steller with a swinging punch to the side of the head.
Steller is still in real trouble! Can Bush finish him?
Bush lands a big elbow from half guard. That looks like it's hurt Steller quite badly. Steller pulls Bush in close trying to recover. Bush postures up and lands two really hard shots that put Steller on queer street! The ref takes a look and decides to call an end to the fight! Possibly an early stoppage but Steller doesn't seem to be complaining too much.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:53 of round 3, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). JJ Bush!
