Man you even see the sheer terror on Amanda Lemos's face when Andrade tightens up that standing choke. Such an awesome finish.

[@davidy2765]

If she had height she’d be on the p4p list

[@user-hy1by6xb4y]

5:18 - what about Michelle face?

[@patricknez7258]

So true Andrade is so strong.. Good call about Waterson too

[@alexkleber306]

Foi lona pá lemos

[@SHANNELZ_]

💯

[@Hypah]

That standing arm triangle was so impressive

[@madgavin7568]

The first standing arm triangle in UFC history.

[@rickyayy]

The best

[@agentcodybanx8909]

1 of the greatest submissions in UFC history

[@VollKaracho209]

I've never seen that before. Instantly grabbed my brother and tried it. 🤣

[@NazriB]

Lies again? Serie A Leader San Siro

[@invincibleluis]

That Andrade submission was awesome.

[@NHILUSAGE111]

Number 1 might always stay number 1. What a finish in our sport by Andrade.

[@madgavin7568]

Andrade might be a future Hall of Famer. Aside from becoming Strawweight champion, her fights are nearly always exciting and she always looks for the finish be it knockout or submission.

[@agentcodybanx8909]

Thats a top 10 submission all time

[@ElisabethYaremchuk]

Namajunas's submissions are awesome, very technical 🔥

[@ericalvarez6556]

First standing arm triangle in UFC history! just jumped on it & you could tell as soon as she wrapped Lemos up, it was over

[@poofbah431]

Yeah that was gangsta

[@NHILUSAGE111]

Zhangs submission on Esparza would’ve at least been number 3 if it didn’t happen just last week lol.

[@upupupandaway]

Easily #1. It was a rare one positionally and came in a title fight against a credentialed grappler.

[@thetimelesstea1045]

Man Andrade is such a freaking tank. Most underrated female fighter of all time

[@poodymeiner3125]

Was a champion. One of the best forsure, but I’d have to disagree with underrated

[@Robothuck]

i called the police on her after she tried to murder rose

[@user-ii3zm4it4h]

She's underrated cause guys can't simp. If half of these weirdo WMMA "fans" really cared about the fighting skills they'd praise Andrade along with all the others at the top, cause she's an absolute ace of the game.

[@thetimelesstea1045]

@@poodymeiner3125 I just feel like she doesn’t get the same fanfare as other fighters. She’s arguably the most entertaining female fighter and she gets snubbed over by both ufc and fans

[@jozefhorniak8191]

She is arguably the second best in every weight class.

[@pshrising2016]

Weili's crucifix rnc on Carla should be on the list

[@upupupandaway]

#1

[@pierrebonhomme8989]

Jessica Andrade standing choke on Lemos was terrifying and brutal! Amazing!

[@izzy1149]

Would be nice to upload the best moments of Anthony rumble Johnson in honor of him🙏🤲

[@rellikbackwards2308]

@@upupupandaway are you kidding me? I don't know why no one did not put on a bet for that to happen I was expecting a KO knockout or a submission by her. I mean for god sakes look at Carla esparza this is the same woman whose face got turned into meat by Joanna.

[@toddjohnson5176]

Phenomenal submissions. Most people don't know great these fighters are.👍🏾👍🏾🌝

[@myrkur479]

Ya I missed that omgggg that standing choke

[@warius1]

Angela Hill taps the air a couple more times but the ref just did not see it.

[@fgbae8220]

looked more like punches to me tbh

[@Your_President_Kanye_East]

@@fgbae8220 That was my impression, too. Angela started punching the air, the same as Holly when Miesha choked her out.

[@mmaart1309]

No Mackenzie dern?😂 how can yall make a video about submissions and not include the best submission artist in the division?

[@upupupandaway]

She definitely had better finishes than some of those included here.

[@diegoforte7988]

Damn Joanne calderwood has really never learned how to defend armbars. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen her get submitted like 5 times by arm bar

[@byrusmx]

So happy to see Cory here. Her Von Flue was awesome.

[@patricknez7258]

Andrade has such impressive strength. Awesome sub

[@CadChamberlain]

Jessica Andrade can actually finish girls in 3 different divisions while also being super small for the smallest division

[@sus425]

She would be the champ at women atomweight if the ufc had it

[@madgavin7568]

@@sus425 No Strawweight is the lowest weight-class she can compete at because of her overall physicality. Look at her, she's built like a tank and is a ball of explosivity. If its anyone who would benefit from an Atomweight division, it would someone like Carla Esparza or Tecia Torres.

[@leonxaurora9085]

She doesn't look small to me, let alone super small LOL

[@CadChamberlain]

@@leonxaurora9085 small as in 5'1

[@upupupandaway]

Why the hell is she fighting Lauren Murphy, right?

[@stonewood-martial-arts]

great finishes, ladies! 😎

[@D_SQ]

You know a finish is absolutely savage when even commentary kind of doesn't know what's going on. 😂

[@Zoundshine]

I ❤ UFC

[@JRF1004]

Jessica is literally the female Wanderlei Silva, such a savage

[@upupupandaway]

That honor goes to Cyborg. Andrade is more of a John Lineker.

[@JRF1004]

@@upupupandaway yeah i hear you, Jéssica has that same style though she’s just stockier

[@df7242]

Ive noticed way more women pass out from a choke rather than tap. Props to them. Unlike lil baby McGregor. He needs to stick to sub par irish whiskey

[@kev0lution]

Weili submitted Carla with a crazy sub how is that not here

[@user-ys1bi8ve1c]

Why I can't see neither Mackenzie Dern's submissions🙄

[@mattreid8292]

Rankings are joke Andrade beat lemons 3 fights ago but lemos is ranked high makes sense.

[@pragyamanral]

Yes. But in her last fight only. Barely 6 months ago.

[@mattreid8292]

@@pragyamanral Dustin has been ahead of Justin and he beat him in April of 2018 that’s almost 5 years ago even when Justin beat tony Dustin jumped up the rankings. Rankings don’t make any sense Andrade is clearly the better fighter.

[@agentcodybanx8909]

Small women but some brutal submissions

[@iluvmyboba]

That choke by Andrade is phenomenal because the woman is only 5 foot 1. Talk about someone with Velcro in their arms.

[@lucaspavon7905]

[@dennynordli6350]

How is there no Mackenzie dern on this list?

[@pragyamanral]

Crazy..

[@Towelietowel]

I think it was Jack Slack who said it best, "If you don't like Jessica Andrade, you deserve every uneventful kickboxing match with no threat of a finish that you get."

[@upupupandaway]

It there like a Jessica Andrade hater club that I'm not aware of?

[@LucieOne]

It literally looked like Jojo pulled her arm out and then put it back in!

[@terrancechilds3049]

Some of these Women shouldn't be allowed to convince them self's that they have what it takes to be a professorial fighter

[@teets9999]

Wow I just realized how long it’s been since Michele waterson has fought, did she retire

Only been a few months she lost to Lemos

[@TimendDe7]

Charles Oliveira is the best in submissions

I understand why weilis sub over Carla wasn’t here, which btw should be at number 1 on the list, it was beautifully done by weili. And #2 should be Andrade. However, weilis sub over Jessica aguliera should be on this list that submission was so brutal and good!!

[@LivinRob]

Love me some Loopy! ❤

[@robertwardle741]

To many adds

[@ruin3r]

Some of these are just the result of pure inexperience and lack of heart/toughness. Sam Alvey survived for MINUTES in that same standing arm triangle with a monster the size of Ryan Spann squeezing his neck and he didn't tap or quit, and Alvey is regarded as a meme tier fighter. So even meme tier male fighters are >>>>>>>>>>>> WMMA fighters in toughness and skill. That's a problem. You can't take female fighting seriously when they have no heart even at the highest level.

[@madgavin7568]

Sadly you're quite right. WMMA is simply no-where near the level of where Men's MMA is at today. Its well more then a decade behind, and progresses at an even slower pace.

[@madgavin7568]

@@jesusiskingofkingss Simpery at its finest lol.
