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.

Said strength wins fights too…not just technique…you must to be strong . What a savage— Yorgan Decastro (@DecastroYorgan) April 24, 2022
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
