In a thrilling matchup at UFC Vegas 74, Karine Silva showcased her exceptional skills by delivering yet another impressive finish. Her opponent, Ketlen Souza, fell victim to one of the most gruesome submissions in recent history. Silva’s relentless pursuit of victory resulted in a kneebar submission that left Souza writhing in pain.

The intense bout commenced with Silva engaging Souza in a leg lock position, initially appearing to target an ankle lock. However, Silva swiftly twisted her body, exerting torque on Souza’s leg. In a matter of seconds, the horrifying sound of Souza’s knee popping resonated through the arena, prompting her to tap out immediately. Souza endured moments of agony while lying on the ground, eventually requiring assistance from her coaches and trainers to exit the octagon.

Silva’s unique submission, officially ruled as a kneebar, added another remarkable achievement to her already impressive record. With a victory at 1:35 in the opening round, Silva proudly secured her second consecutive submission win in the UFC. Astoundingly, all of Silva’s 16 wins have come by way of knockout or submission, further establishing her as a force to be reckoned with.

Reflecting on her technique, Silva remarked, “This is a position we train a lot. I do it to the side; I was looking for the heel hook. I looked down, and I saw a pop, and I let go.” The slow-motion replays only served to emphasize the devastating impact on Souza’s leg, underscoring Silva’s creativity and skill in executing the finish.

As Souza grapples with the aftermath of the fight, the full extent of the damage to her knee remains uncertain until she undergoes an MRI examination with her physicians. Meanwhile, Silva’s victory not only spoiled Souza’s UFC debut but also solidified her reputation as an elite competitor.

Silva wasted no time in delivering a violent and definitive ending to the fight, leaving no doubt about her dominance.

Silva’s tactics involved a successful takedown, followed by a threatening guillotine submission attempt from the top position. Despite Souza regaining full guard, Silva’s relentless pursuit forced her to drop down for a kneebar. Applying immense pressure, Silva cranked on the hold, resulting in Souza’s knee audibly popping. Overwhelmed by pain, Souza promptly tapped out, sealing Silva’s victory. This win extends Silva’s current winning streak to an impressive seven, with a series of early stoppages that includes six first-round finishes and one second-round triumph.

For Souza, the UFC debut was an unfortunate turn of events.
