Missed Fists: Brazilian prospect Laura Fontoura wins flyweight title with 18-second armbar

Welcome to the latest edition of Missed Fists where we shine a light on fights from across the globe that may have been overlooked in these hectic times where it seems like there’s an MMA show every other day.

Lightning fast knockouts usually lead the show here, but this week we have a pair of submissions that had two fighters tapping before they even knew what hit them. It takes a lot of skill, aggression, and luck to catch someone in less than 30 seconds, but that’s exactly what we saw happen twice last weekend.

AL: Coming in with the fastest submission by a hair is 20-year-old Brazilian prospect Laura Fontoura, who improved to 5-0 and captured a vacant Centro Oeste Fight flyweight title last Saturday with an 18-second armbar of Eliane Britto.
