Jaqueline Amorim put herself on the radar when she submitted Lovethpatra Young with a kneebar and captured the vacant Legacy Fighting Alliance women’s strawweight championship in the LFA 125 main event on Feb. 25 at the Seneca Niagara Resort and Casino in Niagara Falls, New York. Amorim, 26, brought it to a close 1:26 into Round 1.

It was a gruesome finish that drew a visceral reaction from those who saw it.

“I could feel noise coming from her leg,” Amorim told Sherdog.com. “I overextended it, but she wasn’t tapping. I gave up on that position and reapplied the submission by having her leg under my armpit. That’s when she tapped, and I won by submission.”

The American Top Team -trained Amorim has finished all five of her opponents inside one round, four of them by submission.
