Must. Watch. Novel Submission!!!<\/p>\n

Polyana
\nViana<\/a> makes a mistake with the body lock from the bottom by
\nletting her left leg get inside of Alice
\nArdelean<\/a>‘s body. Alice saw it and put the pressure on it &
\nresults in a verbal tap!#UFCVegas117<\/a>pic.twitter.com\/Fbpx8kNwtV<\/a><\/p>\n

Viana caught Ardelean in a body triangle from the bottom position.
\nThe Romanian managed to trap Viana\u2019s locking leg on the inside and
\napplied pressure on it to secure the tap. Ardelean subsequently
\nrevealed that she learned the move on Instagram. Ardelean doesn\u2019t
\neven know the exact name of the lock she used to extend her winning
\nstreak to three.<\/p>\n

Spontaneous Submission<\/h2>\n

\u201cMe submitting somebody. Imagine,\u201d Ardelean said in a post-fight
\ninterview with the UFC. \u201cI had seen this submission on Instagram.
\nIt was a backup plan. Because I knew she closes the triangle if
\nshe\u2019s in guard. She has a good guard. Caught me with some good
\nelbows from there. And I didn\u2019t know what to do. So I tried that.
\nI\u2019m like, YOLO. And it worked\u2026 I don\u2019t even know what it is. I
\nthink it\u2019s some calf-slicer or something. I mean she calf sliced
\nherself.\u201d

\u201cMe, submitting somebody. Imagine?\u201d<\/p>\n

\nreflects on her unique submission win and securing her third win in
