It looks like he might have it! Milat tries to escape but he's just digging himself in deeper - Stevens cranks the arm and Milat screams in pain! The ref makes a decision and ends the fight before the tap - no complains from Milat, who is just happy to have his arm attached to his body.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:55 of round 4, we have a winner by way of Submission (Americana). Dean Stevens! Dean Stevens retains his welterweight title! Jumping up and down and very excited, Dean Stevens waved his t-shirt featuring Milwaukee's Best 160 SALE $140's logo in front of the cameras.
