Lager looking to control and managing it successfully.
Morrison really trying hard to get back to half guard here.
Both fighters are breathing heavily.#T2#
Lager content just to control the position here.
Morrison's corner are shouting for him to stand up but that's bad cornering - how is he meant to stand up when he's mounted? He should be looking to improve his position on the ground before trying to stand back up.
Lager scoring with some good ground and pound from mount here. Will he manage to finish Morrison?
Lager lands a big elbow - Morrison is in trouble! More strikes from the mount and Morrison is forced to tap out!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:53 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Strikes). Gustav Lager!
