Round Three:
Jumping front kick from Oliveira to start the third. Nice punch from Lee and then a head kick attempt. Now another right hand from Lee.
Body kick from Oliveira, Lee catches it, but ‘Do Bronx’ is latching onto a guillotine choke and drops down with it. It’s in really tight and it’s not long before Lee is tapping out at 0.28mins of the third round.
Lee dazed and confused afterwards and tries to continue grappling with Oliveira and then protests that he didn’t tap out when the referee tells him the fight is over, but it was clear for all to see that he had tapped multiple times.
