Vladivich distracts Seagal with his right hand and drops a big elbow with his other arm.
Seagal not looking particularly offensive just at the moment.
Vladivich is trying to tuck his arms in to keep them safe but Seagal has managed to isolate one of them and has got a loose triangle. Vladivich is looking to defend but Seagal has done well to lock his legs together - this could be big trouble for Vladivich! Seagal pulls down on the head and a little smile comes across his face - he knows he's got it. Yep, Vladivich taps out and this one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:58 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Jake Seagal!
