Knox is looking for an arm triangle, whilst trying to pass to side control. Rivieira doesn't seem that keen to cooperate though. No luck this time Knox.
Rivieira manages to get to full guard.

Neither fighter has done anything of merit for a good minute or two here and the crowd are not happy about it.#SUB2#
Rivieira looking to try and escape his hips here, looking for a submission. It looks like he's going for a triangle but Knox is defending well. Rivieira quickly switches to an armbar and extends the arm! Knox has no choice but to tap, to a very quick submission! Wow, that was lightning fast! Rivieira celebrates on the cage, with the crowd.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:24 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Rodrigo Rivieira!
