That's one minute gone in the round.
Alb drops back for a leg here. A bit of a high risk move... He's looking for a kneebar by the looks of things. Now both of them are looking for submissions. Alb seems to have locked his on tight now - Griss screams in pain and taps out furiously! It certainly was a high risk move but it's paid off for Alb, as he picks up the win!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:22 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kneebar). Ryan Alb! Ryan Alb retains his lightweight title!
