Kane working from mount. He moves in close and looks like he might be going for an arm triangle... He's hopped off to the side and he's transitioned into an Anaconda choke. Foster turning a nasty shade of purple. He's refusing to tap but he's gone! He's out! The ref rips Kane off and cradles Foster's limp body as Kane celebrates with his corner.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:20 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Anaconda Choke). Wayne Kane!
A very excited looking Wayne Kane 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. |
