We get told so often about how wrestlers don't like to be on their backs. Let's see if Tech can do anything to dispel that myth.
Vrana is maintaining the dominant position - no doubt Tech will start to get frustrated soon if he's not already.
Vrana lands a knee to the body and follows it up with some ground and pound to the head. That will wear Tech down.
A bit of a lull in the action. I'm sure it will pick up again soon... even if the ref has to physically pick them up and put them back on their feet.
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!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:58 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Alois Vrana!
