LAS VEGAS – Jaqueline Amorim made quick work of Cory McKenna at UFC Fight Night 239 on Saturday, even with some confusion mid-submission.
An IBJJF champion, Amorim (7-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) picked up another submission when she armbarred McKenna (8-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) for a tap at 1:38 of Round 1 in the strawweight bout at the UFC Apex. It was the fourth-fastest submission in divisional history.
Despite the fight’s brevity, Amorim locked in a deep submission twice in the same sequence. Prior to the official stoppage, Mike Beltran initially yelled “Stop” as McKenna made a verbal noise in an armbar attempt – but then changed his mind and told the fighters to continue.
