Gustafson tries for an arm triangle. That looks pretty tight to me. Is this one over!?! Possibly, maybe, no Gustafson has let go of the choke. Obviously it wasn't as tight as we thought!

Gustafson has hold of Burt's arm. He's looking for a kimura. Burt seems comfortable defending it but Gustafson has shifted his position slighty and is cranking on the arm! Burt is real pain and he's forced to tap out! Burt is disgusted with himself for not defending it better but Gustafson couldn't care less - he's delighted!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:43 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Rino Gustafson!
