Karate scores with a couple of good hammerfists.#SUB#
Underbridge is looking to regain full guard. He's left an arm up in the air though and Karate has latched onto it... Big trouble! Karate pivots for an armbar - it's in tight and it Underbridge is tapping in no time flat! Great counter grappling there from Karate!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:55 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Barty Karate! |
