Loopy Godinez On Mexican Independence Day Win Over Elise Reed: ‘Everything was Perfect’

Loopy Godinez (11-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) extended her winning streak to three in a big way at Noche UFC on Sept. 16.

In front of a Mexican-friendly crowd on her native country’s Independence Day, Godinez submitted Elise Reed via rear naked choke in the second frame of their strawweight contest after dropping her and nearly sinking in an armbar earlier in the bout.

Godinez said it was “amazing” to have a pro-Mexican crowd behind her on the holiday.

“It was pretty fun,” Godinez told MMASucka. “The energy was great. I started with Lobo Gym, so just to have that performance, it was everything.
