UFC 258 video: Polyana Viana’s slick armbar finishes game Mallory Martin
Polyana Viana sure was determined to get a submission Saturday at UFC 258.
Viana (12-4 MMA, 3-3 UFC) got Mallory Martin into a tight triangle in the early moments of their strawweight preliminary card fight at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Martin (7-4 MMA, 1-2 UFC), though, turned out to be a determined foe and thrashed around like a fish that was hooked to prevent getting reeled in, looking for an escape.
Viana even found herself on the receiving end of a Martin slam. But she held on and transitioned to a picture-perfect armbar. With Martin trapped, and a full two minutes after she was first put in the triangle, she had no choice but to tap at the 3:18 mark of the opening round.
You can check out the handiwork that led to her eighth career submission victory below:

“That’s a technique I do really well – I transition from the triangle to the armbar,” Viana said.
Brazil’s Viana has won two fights in a row to rebound nicely from a rough 1-3 start to her UFC career. All three of her UFC wins are by submission.
