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

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.

In defeat, Lemos has lost two of her most recent three bouts.
