Brock Larson's got 26 wins so last thing you'd expect is the veteran fighter to tap via strikes. He simply couldn't withstand the Brian Foster onslaught anymore. Larson got into real trouble when he was slammed to the ground with 3:10 left in the second round. Foster drilled Larson with a left that slammed his head off the canvas. He worked over Larson with some ground and pound. The fight got back to the feet and Larson tried to shoot. He got drilled with a right uppercut and fell to his knees where Foster nailed him with four more shots. Larson tapped on the ground asking referee Yves Lavigne to show some mercy at 3:25 of the second. It was Foster's first win in the UFC. Larson (26-4, 2-2 UFC) drops his second straight fight and could be in jeopardy of being cut from the roster.
Foster showed good killer instinct. Truth be told, after a wacky first round that he won 10-7, he could've run in the second and third, and still won the fight. For the second time of the night, a fighter got nailed with a illegal kick to the head on the ground. With Foster in Larson's guard, Larson kicked Foster off. But as Foster sat on his knees, Larson drilled him with another kick on the right side of his head. After a short stoppage, Larson then nailed Foster in the head with a knee as Foster was hunched over in a three-point stance.
Foster pulled the upset as a plus-300 underdog. That was about as dominant as a dog can look.
