Nuisance on his back here. We all know that wrestlers don't like being on their back so let's see if Nuisance tries to get out of the position.
Birthday in half guard on the top. He's looking for a kimura... He's got it locked and he's managed to free his trapped foot. Nuisance tries to escape but it's on too tight and he has to tap! Great BJJ skills there from Birthday!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:42 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Corey Birthday!
Corey Birthday is the new heavyweight champion!
A victorious Corey Birthday thanked his army of followers in his post fight interview, telling people to make sure they follow him on Twitter.
