UFC Vegas 52: Twitter reacts to Jessica Andrade’s amazing standing arm triangle on Amanda Lemos

Former strawweight champion Jessica Andrade made quick work of rising prospect Amanda Lemos at UFC Vegas 52. Just three minutes into the first round, ‘Bate Estaca’ locked in a standing arm-triangle choke and forced the tap from her fellow Brazilian. It’s the first standing arm-triangle finish in UFC history. On Twitter, pro fighters and journalists reacted to the finish.

What a sub by Andrade. The strength needed to pull that off is something else. What a career she’s had.

Jessica Andrade is straight up one of the most exciting women’s fighters in the world. Seven of her last eight bouts have ended in a finish and the only one that didn’t was that excellent second fight with Rose Namajunas. #UFCVegas52
