Muniz trying to control but Luciano is working from the bottom. #SUB#
Luciano has managed to work for a loose triangle. I think Muniz should be able to defend this one pretty easily though. Oh, Luciano has tightened it up now! Muniz should have reacted faster there - he's in big trouble and yes, he's tapped out! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:52 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Charles Luciano! |
