Michelle Nicolini improved her MMA record to 4-1 on Friday with an incredibly impressive performance, proving why she is one of the most highly regarded prospects in MMA today.
The eighth-time jiu-jitsu world champion took out another top prospect in Irina Mazepa at ONE Championship's Kings Of Destiny. Mazepa is known as an elite striker, but Nicolini was able to easily put her on her back and outpace her on the mat.
The jiu-jitsu black belt was able to lock in a deep arm bar off a butterfly sweep that caused the Russian Mazepa to tap out at just 2:10 into the first round. Nicolini has now gone 2-0 since moving on from jiu-jitsu to commit herself full time to MMA. This was the first loss of Irina Mazepa's career.
The win may be Nicolini's most impressive to date and is setting her up for big things within the expanding promotion ONE Championship. Watch the finish below!
