Smith lands punches and elbows.
Smith has the hooks in and he's looking for a rear naked choke here. Elliente is defending well but eventually Smith manages to get an arm under the chin and he's locked on the RNC! Elliente has no choice but to tap now! He does! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:46 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Austin Smith!
Austin Smith is the new welterweight champion!
