Jaqueline Amorim met the media Saturday after her win over Loma Lookboonme at UFC Fight Night 277.
Amorim (11-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) submitted Lookboonme (10-5 MMA, 7-4 UFC) with a slick armbar to open the prelims at Galaxy Macau. Amorim got the tap with 56 seconds left in the opening round, and with it a return to the win column.

Amorim kept her perfect finishing rate intact – 11 wins, 11 stoppages. She’s only gone the distance twice, and both times have been her only losses. Everyone else has, by and large, found themselves on the canvas with Amorim, and that’s a big problem.
“I’ve trained jiu-jitsu since I was 5 years old – I’ve never stopped,” Amorim told the UFC after the win. “Jiu-jitsu is my strength. I believe I can be one of the best grapplers in the UFC.”
