LAS VEGAS — MMA fighter Julija Stoliarenko appeared to dislocate her opponent's arm with a merciless, quickfire submission Saturday at UFC 276.

Stoliarenko's women's bantamweight bout against Jessica-Rose Clark opened the 12-bout fight card at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas to cap International Fight Week, which is the UFC's Wrestlemania, Superbowl, and World Series.

There was no glove touch or niceties to kick the fight off, as Clark fired a leg kick that left Stoliarenko off-balance early on.

Clark's striking looked good but it was not long before Stoliarenko took charge of the bout, put Clark on the canvas with a takedown, and then passed to side control.

Seeking a finish by armbar, Stoliarenko tightened the maneuver, which Clark attempted to defend but it was locked in and so all Clark could do was tap when her arm seemed to bend out of position … and snap.

The victory was swift, with a conclusive finish, and you can watch it right here:

Stoliarenko landed six of nine strikes, succeeded with her sole takedown attempt, and enjoyed 17 seconds of control time according to UFC statistics.

The 42-second win is the second-fastest submission win in the history of the women's bantamweight division, behind only Ronda Rousey's 14-second victory over Cat Zingano in 2015.

"Oops, I did it again," said Stoliarenko in her post-match interview.

Victory advanced Stoliarenko's pro MMA record to 10 wins (nine submissions and one decision) against six losses.

It also bucked a three-fight losing skid as it was her first triumph since a split decision win over Lisa Verzosa, when she fought for Invicta in March 2020.
