Evansen has managed to work for a loose triangle. I think Stumpp should be able to defend this one pretty easily though. Oh, Evansen has tightened it up now! Stumpp should have reacted faster there - he's in big trouble and yes, he's tapped out! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:45 of round 4, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Christian Evansen!
Christian Evansen retains his featherweight title!
