Hoffman is trying to work for a kimura but Mustang is defending well.
Hoffman is working for a submission here. He's got hold of the far side arm and he's looking for a kimura. He's cranking on the arm and he's got it! Mustang is tapping out! Ouch, that looked like it hurt!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:32 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Elijah Hoffman!
Elijah Hoffman is the new lightweight champion!
