Jessica Andrade Makes History, Submits Amanda Lemos in UFC Fight Night 205 Main Event

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship strawweight champion Jessica Andrade made a statement against Amanda Lemos in UFC Fight Night 205's main event.

After nearly three minutes of back-and-forth action on the feet, Andrade (23-9) locked in an extremely tight standing arm-triangle choke. While Lemos (11-2-1) attempted to fight the submission, she was forced to tap in her first main event bout. The finish came at the 3:13 mark of the first round, and Andrade called for a title shot after the emphatic victory.
