Vrana's ground tactics aren't going to win him many fans. Let's hope he's got fireworks for us if he gets back to his feet because he's not doing much on the ground.
Vrana is working for what looks like an arm triangle here. Tech is trying to escape and Vrana transitions quickly into an armbar! He's slapped it on tight and Tech is forced to tap! Nice work there by Vrana! Very nice indeed!
