- Sam Hughes scored a buzzer-beating submission victory during a Legacy Fighting Alliance event on October 16.
- The women's flyweight tied her opponent Danielle Hindley up with a guillotine choke.
- Perhaps knowing there were only seconds left on the round lock, Hindley did not tap-out to the submission.
- If she had held on until the end of the round, the referee would have had to separate the fighters for the minute's break between the first and second rounds.
- But Hindley lost consciousness before the bell sounded, giving Hughes the victory.
A female MMA fighter called Sam Hughes scored a buzzer-beating guillotine choke which sent her opponent to sleep in the final second of the first round on October 16.
At the Legacy Fighting Alliance's weekend event, LFA 93, Hughes took on her fellow American Danielle Hindley in a flyweight match.
With almost five minutes gone on the first round clock, Hughes locked in a tight chokehold and did not let go.
Hindley didn't appear to tap-out to the submission and may have known that the round was about to finish.
If she was able to last until the opening round had lapsed, the bell would have sounded and the referee would have had to separate the fighters for a minute's break before the second round.
But Hindley ended up losing consciousness a second before the end of the round.
The guillotine choke was so good, Hughes sent her opponent to sleep.
Watch it here:
With victory, Hughes advanced her record to five wins (one knockout, three submissions, and one decision) against one loss.
