Gueguen'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.

Burner has left one of his arms exposed and Gueguen doesn't need a second invitation. He's isolated it and locked on a tight armbar. Burner screams and taps out, obviously in a lot of pain. Hopefully there isn't permanent damage to that arm.
