#SUB# Foster is staying cool under pressure, defending well against the rear naked choke attempt from his opponent.
#SUB# Burks working for a RNC but it's not happening just yet. #T2##SUB# Burks is working for the choke. He's slipped one arm under the chin. Foster has to defend the other arm for all he's worth... but Burks has managed to get that arm free too and he's tightening the choke! Foster taps out and looks absolutely disgusted with himself. Burks doesn't care though - he's delighted!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:26 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Travis Burks!
