Smirnov looking to try and escape his hips here, looking for a submission. It looks like he's going for a triangle but Butler is defending well. Smirnov quickly switches to an armbar and extends the arm! Butler has no choice but to tap, to a very quick submission! Wow, that was lightning fast! Smirnov celebrates on the cage, with the crowd.
