Jandiroba submits Lemos, calls for UFC title shot
Brett Okamoto: Virna Jandiroba might have earned herself a UFC title shot on Saturday, and she looked extremely dangerous in doing so.
The Brazilian strawweight submitted Amanda Lemos via armbar at 4:48 of the second round in the main event of UFC Fight Night inside the Apex in Las Vegas. Jandiroba (21-3) extended her win streak to four and added the biggest name on her resume to date. Lemos is a former title challenger and went into this weekend ranked No. 3 at 115 pounds.
