Loopy Godinez ’s first career submission victory couldn’t have come at a better moment. Godinez (6-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC), a strawweight prospect from Mexico who fights out of Canada, forced Silvana Gomez Juarez (10-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) to tap out in the first round at UFC Fight Night 194 on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. After putting on heavy pressure early in the fight, Godinez got Gomez Juarez in a compromising position on the mat. She took the back, but Gomez Juarez made critical errors in her defense that allowed Godinez to snatch the arm for the tap at the 4:14 mark of Round 1.
