On August 7, Mike Foster will take the next step towards the finals of the M-1 Selection: Americas Light Heavyweight tournament.

Foster is a former NFL player who spent time with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

At 24 seconds into the first round, Foster opened eyes and satisfied any doubts that he belongs in the sport of mixed martial arts.
