Santos tries to get to his feet but he's trapped momentarily.
Santos is looking to take a break and control but Burns is keeping him honest, looking to work from the bottom.
We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up.
That's one minute gone in the round.
Santos is working to tighten his grip on Burns's neck. He's isolated an arm and is working for an arm triangle. Burns has recognised the danger and is trying to turn with the submission but Santos is really squeezing tight and eventually Burns passes out! Santos breaks the hold and jumps onto the cage to celebrate! Submission of the night, I'd say!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:28 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Arm Triangle). Gustavo Santos!
A very excited looking Gustavo Santos made sure he remembered to thank all the fans both in the arena and on the internet. He said all the coolest people spend all day on MMA websites, which got a big reaction.
