Her opponent turns away from an elbow, and Bia Mesquita follows straight onto her back. The opening lasts only a moment: Mesquita wraps up a rear-naked choke, gets the tap and rises to celebrate.
That compact sequence is the centerpiece of UFC FIGHT PASS's Short, "Bia Mesquita returns Saturday at #UFC334". It drew about 65,000 views in its first day, roughly 26 times the channel's usual start for Shorts.
Mesquita's background as a multiple-time Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion makes the transition especially telling. The clip begins with her in full mount, controlling the fight from above. The downward elbow prompts her opponent to turn; Mesquita immediately switches from striking to securing the submission. A slow-motion replay lets viewers follow how quickly those pieces connect.
The comments include discussion of the downward elbow and the opening it creates, rather than just the choke itself.
The Short is part of a broader look ahead to UFC 334. The channel has also posted Mesquita's full fight with Irina Alekseeva, giving viewers a longer bout to watch alongside this brief reminder of her finishing ability.
