Bikermann looking to shoot here. He's gone for it and he's landed a takedown into side control! Oh, that's bad for Azhiev!
Azhiev tries to improve position but can't.

Bikermann is working to tighten his grip on Azhiev's neck. He's isolated an arm and is working for an arm triangle. Azhiev has recognised the danger and is trying to turn with the submission but Bikermann is really squeezing tight and eventually Azhiev passes out! Bikermann breaks the hold and jumps onto the cage to celebrate! Submission of the night, I'd say!

The defeated Anzhor Azhiev had this to say: 'I still want that title shot. Im the most experienced fighter here and everyday wants to see me smash the champ so lets do it whenever he starts ducking me.'.
