Related Topics: Armlock

Andrea Lee poured it on from the very start and ultimately got a highlight-reel finish to put bow on a dominant performance.

Lee beat Heather Bassett with an armbar submission in the third round to become the first-ever Legacy Fighting Alliance women’s flyweight champion Friday night at LFA 4 in Bossier City, La. Lee rocked Bassett repeatedly in the first round, opened up a hematoma on Bassett’s forehead in the second round and finished the job in the third.

The structure of the armbar was similar in construction to the submission finish Ronda Rousey had against Cat Zingano at UFC 184 in 2015.
