Clement managing to control the position.
Cross postures up to throw the ground and pound strikes but they don't connect.
Clement keeping moving, preventing Cross from controlling successfully.
Clement is working for submissions here. He's thrown up his legs looking for a tringle but Cross frees his head nicely. Oh but Clement has switched to an armbar! Cross is tapping furiously! Lovely submission there!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:55 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Armbar). Theo Clement!
