Alice Ardelean delivered a standout finish on Saturday, submitting Polyana Viana with a UFC-first leg lock on the prelims of UFC Vegas 117.
Ardelean secured a verbal submission via Capsule Lock at 4:36 of Round 2, locking up the leg from closed guard to end the bout. The finish marked Ardelean's first in the UFC.
The decisive sequence came in the second round after Ardelean secured a takedown and transitioned into the unique leg attack from her back, forcing Viana to concede.
Ardelean has stated previously that she learned the submission move from TikTok, adding an extra layer of intrigue to a finish already being noted for its rarity inside the Octagon.
