She explodes and winds up taking top position. The ladies scramble again and Jandiroba goes for a leg lock. Lemos attempts the same but neither submission attempts come to fruition. Lemos lands a nice elbow. Jandiroba scrambles and takes Lemos’ back as they stand. Round one comes to an end.

Jandiroba shoots in and pushes Lemos back against the fence. She eventually gets Lemos down, but they are quickly back on their feet. Jandiroba manages get on Lemos’ back, though. She locks in a body triangle. Virna is looking for the choke. She gets under the chin, but Lemos moves to pull her hands away.  Jandiroba immediatley transitions to a beautiful arm bar and this one is all over! WOW!
