Cetinkaya shoots in for a takedown but Correa shows good takedown defense.

Cetinkaya manages to get an easy takedown there - catching Correa on his heels. He'll look to pass Correa's guard now, I'm sure.

Cetinkaya has a momentary lapse of concentration, allowing Correa to throw up a leg and lock on what appears to be a pretty tight triangle! Cetinkaya is fighting it off but it's all too little too late - Correa pulls down on the head and he's put Cetinkaya to sleep! This one is all over!

Marcos Correa retains his lightweight title!
Marcos Correa decided to call for a title shot in his post fight interview, which was very strange given the fact this fight was for a title and he's already the champion. I guess that's what getting punched in the head does for you.
