Puustinen won't allow Murray to sweep him here.
That's four minutes gone in the round.
Murray is trying to control the position but Puustinen postures up.
Murray has his foot on Puustinen's thigh. He's trying to push off and get in position for a triangle, I think. Puustinen works his way back into a safe position though.
This has been an exciting period of action!
Murray working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Puustinen doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Puustinen manages to throw the legs off his shoulder and he's back into guard - no problem.

Oh but Murray is tightening it up a little... Puustinen has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight! Puustinen reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a matter of seconds! YES! Puustinen taps out! Nice BJJ there by Murray!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:33 of round 4, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Lee Murray!
Lee Murray is the new light heavyweight champion!
Lee Murray very nearly forgot to thank Cold Blooded Kemists ↑ 5x160Q amongst all the excitement of his win but just as the interview came to a close, he screamed their name. Hopefully he'll get a few nice freebies in the mail as a thank you.
