LAS VEGAS – Julija Stoliarenko opened the UFC 276 mega-card with a gruesome submission of Jessica-Rose Clark.
Stoliarenko (10-6-2 MMA, 1-4 UFC) avoided a fifth consecutive octagon defeat Saturday when she secured a nasty armbar that snapped Clark’s (10-8 MMA, 1-4 UFC) arm a mere 42 seconds into the women’s bantamweight bout.
It was the second-fastest submission in divisional history behind Ronda Rousey’s 14-second win over Cat Zingano in 2015, and it was a much-needed one for Stoliarenko.
