#2. Claudio Puelles vs. Clay Guida

Not only is this the third kneebar submission that Puelles has hit in the UFC, but this might be a 'Submission of the Year' candidate. Clay Guida is as tenured a fighter as the UFC can offer. When he signed to take on Puelles, it seemed like the "old dog taking on the new wave of talent" trope.

'The Carpenter' has repeatedly spoken about how much wrestling means to him. Additionally, his fighting tells the same story. High-paced action coupled with suffocating pressure usually leads to Guida hitting takedowns. While it wasn't different in this fight, Puelles ensured they led to Guida's downfall.

Immediate submission threats put Guida on the defensive. The 'Prince of Peru' did phenomenally well in not letting his opponent get settled, which stopped most offensive attacks that would've come his way. Guida knows this game well, though, and he survived the initial attacks.

However, Puelles proved that he is on another level. He attacked a leg and secured a kneebar that came lighting quick and quickly forced 'The Carpenter' to tap out. The Peruvian lightweight earned a 'Performance of the Night' bonus for his finish.

#1. Jessica Andrade vs. Amanda Lemos

The titular bout of this card saw Jessica Andrade return to strawweight, a division in which she's once summited. Opposite the former champion stood Amanda Lemos, a promising talent riding a five-fight winning streak.

The hype seemed real early on, too. 'Amandinha' lit up the former champion with leg kicks and straight punches. Though the offense was good, Andrade is rarely uncomfortable when inside the octagon.

The 30-year-old just needed to grab ahold of her opponent, and that was all she wrote. Though she's won by submission before, nobody in UFC history has won a fight via standing arm-triangle choke. This technique is primarily seen executed on the ground from a top position. Andrade, however, was able to apply enough pressure without the assistance of gravity and forced the tap from the taller opponent on the feet.

Once again, the former strawweight queen displayed her brute strength and walked away with a 'Performance of the Night' bonus for her impressive finish.
