Hedegaard working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Kurtev doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Kurtev manages to throw the legs off his shoulder and he's back into guard - no problem.
That's one minute gone in the round.

Oh but Hedegaard is tightening it up a little... Kurtev has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight! Kurtev reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a matter of seconds! YES! Kurtev taps out! Nice BJJ there by Hedegaard!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:20 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Simon Hedegaard!
Simon Hedegaard is the new middleweight champion!
Simon Hedegaard made sure to mention his sponsor, Altitude Clothing in his post fight interview.
