After the “Detroit Superstar” landed several thudding strikes in rounds one and two -- and defended a few submission attempts -- Felder was trailing on the scorecards going into the third. With both lightweights wearing down from the grueling battle, Felder was able to seize his foe’s back and sink in a textbook rear-naked choke, forcing the tap.
The time of the submission came at 3:56 of the final round.
