Mayra Bueno Silva added a slick leg submission to her highlight reel Saturday in Las Vegas.
As the clock wound down in Round 2 of her bantamweight bout at UFC Fight Night 219, Silva (10-2-1 MMA, 5-2-1 UFC) grabbed hold of a leg and submitted Lina Lansberg (10-8 MMA, 4-7 UFC) with a kneebar at 4:46 of Round 2.
The submission was the first of its kind in UFC women’s bantamweight history.
After the victory, Silva called for a fight against former UFC title challenger Raquel Pennington, who does not currently have a publicly known fight on the books after a rumored March 25 matchup with Irene Aldana fizzled out.
