FIGHT ISLAND — Ariane Lipski, 26, lived up to her "Violence Queen" nickname Saturday as she beat her UFC opponent so bad, she had to be carried out of the arena.

Lipski needed only 88 seconds to finish fellow flyweight Luana Carolina, ending the fight with a brutal kneebar submission which hyperextended her leg.

It all went down at the "UFC Fight Night: Figueiredo vs. Benavidez 2" show, the third of the UFC's four "Fight Night" events on a quarantined area of Yas Island, built in conjunction with the Abu Dhabi government so that the MMA firm can hold international events during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Lipski, who has a Muay Thai background and is highly-competent fighting on her feet, showed she is particularly dangerous on the ground, too, as Carolina will testify.

While Lipski celebrated her victory dancing around the Octagon and trying to get a glimpse of the replay on one of the two big screens inside the purpose-built, behind-closed doors venue called the Flash Forum, Carolina remained on the floor, in agony.

Lipski then made her way toward the ESPN broadcast cameras to give a post-fight interview, and while she gave her post-fight interview, Carolina was carried out of the arena — she was in so much pain she couldn't even walk properly.

With the win, Lipski advanced her record to 13 wins (six knockouts, three submissions, and four decisions) against five losses.

Earlier on the main card, Askar Askarov out-pointed Alexandre Pantoja with three scores of 29-28.
