Wooooo! Give it up for these two warriors! They are putting on a show!
Carwin is trying to tuck his arms in to keep them safe but Soule has managed to isolate one of them and has got a loose triangle. Carwin is looking to defend but Soule has done well to lock his legs together - this could be big trouble for Carwin! Soule pulls down on the head and a little smile comes across his face - he knows he's got it. Yep, Carwin taps out and this one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:58 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Sam Soule! Sam Soule retains his heavyweight title!
