Thompson looks like he's trying to stand up.
#SUB2#
The Hatchet maintaining the dominant position here and is working for a kimura. He's locked it up! Thompson could be in real trouble here! He's trying to wriggle out but The Hatchet has cracked it and Thompson is screaming in pain - he's tapped out! Great finish by The Hatchet!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:18 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Hassan The Hatchet!
An out of breath Hassan The Hatchet thanked his loyal fans in his post fight interview, giving them credit for his success over the course of his career.
