Diaz is trying to get back to his feet but he's not managed it yet. #SUB#
Diaz won't enjoy being in this position. Jonhson looking for the choke. Oh... he's slipped the arm under the neck - Diaz is tapping - it's over boys! Jonhson picks up the submission victory!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:59 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Mohammed Jonhson!
