O Conner wants to control from the top but Baker keeps moving. #SUB#
Baker has managed to work for a loose triangle. I think O Conner should be able to defend this one pretty easily though. Oh, Baker has tightened it up now! O Conner 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 0:58 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Sean Baker!
A very excited looking Sean Baker made sure he remembered to thank all the fans both in the arena and on the internet. He said all the coolest people spend all day on MMA websites, which got a big reaction. |
