UFC on ESPN 60 results: Virna Jandiroba beautifully locks inescapable armbar on Amanda Lemos

Virna Jandiroba just might be in consideration for Submission of the Year after finishing Amanda Lemons in the UFC on ESPN 60 main event.

Virna Jandiroba might’ve locked in a Submission of the Year candidate Saturday when she slickly and violently made Amanda Lemos tap out in the UFC on ESPN 60 main event.

In a grappling-heavy affair, Jandiroba (21-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) seemed to have an answer for everything Lemos (14-3-1 MMA, 8-3 UFC) presented. It all lead up to an armbar submission at 4:48 of Round 2 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

The finishing sequence was a thing of beauty as Jandiroba slipped from a rear-naked choke attempt on the back to torque a gruesomely-angled armbar.

The victory could very well earn Jandiroba a crack at UFC women’s strawweight champion Zhang Weili, who does not currently have a fight on the books. The win Saturday was Jandiroba’s fourth in a row.
