Lehtola covering up well under a series of strikes from Brousard.
Brousard controlling from the back.#SUB#
Brousard is cranking Lehtola's head sideways - that looks painful. He's managed to get his other arm under the chin and this looks bad for Lehtola! He's tightened the choke and Lehtola is tapping out!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 9:57 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Dennis Brousard!
