St Pierre controlling Fromm's posture.
We're seeing a lot of stalling here from St Pierre.#SUB2#
St Pierre is looking to cinch up a triangle. Fromm throws the leg off to one side though and gets in tight to St Pierre's body to avoid the submission. St Pierre has instead reached around Fromm's neck and now has a guillotine! Oh, this is biiiig trouble! St Pierre arches his back and squeezes and forces the tap from his hapless opponent.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:54 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Guillotine). Matt St Pierre!
Steven Fromm was interviewed post fight and said 'I got have naked and wrestled another man, that's still a win in my book...'.
