Simeon tries to bench press Jain off him but Jain keeps the position.
Simeon gives up the full mount - oops, sloppy defensive grappling there!
Jain has hold of an arm here, looking to extend it. He's committed to the armbar attempt here! Will he get it?! Yes! Simeon is forced to tap!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:43 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Moganesh Jain!
Moganesh Jain retains his bantamweight title!
Jumping up and down and very excited, Moganesh Jain waved his t-shirt featuring Urban Fighter's logo in front of the cameras.
Branimir Simeon spoke after the fight, saying 'Thanks for coming...I'll be back'.
