Stonie is working for the choke. He's slipped one arm under the chin. Carver has to defend the other arm for all he's worth... but Stonie has managed to get that arm free too and he's tightening the choke! Carver taps out and looks absolutely disgusted with himself. Stonie doesn't care though - he's delighted!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:56 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Matt Stonie!
