Mason stopping the sweep attempt from Tyler.
That's two minutes gone in the round.
Tyler has his feet on Mason's thighs here. He's pushed Mason off and worked for a very quick armbar from the bottom! He's flipped onto his stomach and he's cranking hard on the arm! Mason screams in pain and taps out! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:21 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Jake Tyler!
Jake Tyler is the new welterweight champion!
Jake Tyler made sure to give a little speech post fight, saying 'Thanks everyone, Jake Ryan is a great fighter, tough fight much respect. This rematch meant everything to me, I trained so hard for this and was so motivated. We can do a 3rd fight, and a 4th and a 5th fight me and Jake Ryan, because he brings it every night.'.
