Bia Mesquita chokes out Macy Chiasson in the first round at UFC 334 to break Ronda Rousey's submission record
The unbeaten Brazilian needed 3:23 to tap Chiasson at Madison Square Garden for her fourth straight UFC submission win.

Bia Mesquita needed just over three minutes to take a record away from Ronda Rousey.
The unbeaten Brazilian submitted Macy Chiasson with a rear-naked choke at 3:23 of the first round on Saturday at UFC 334 at Madison Square Garden.
It was her fourth UFC submission in the women's bantamweight division. That breaks the tie she shared with Rousey for the most in the division's history.
Four fights and four finishes
Mesquita is now 4-0 in the UFC and has finished every one of those fights. She is the first woman to win four straight UFC fights by submission.
She improved to 9-0 as a pro. Chiasson fell to 10-7 and has now lost four in a row.
How it ended
The fight started on the feet. Once Mesquita got close she locked her hands around Chiasson's body and pinned her along the fence.
The multiple-time jiu-jitsu world champion then flattened her out, took her back and worked patiently until the choke was tight enough to force the tap.
Eyes on the title
Mesquita, who goes by "The Lady GOAT," made her next goal clear in the cage. She told Joe Rogan she planned to sit cageside later in the night to watch bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison face Amanda Nunes.
With a perfect record and a run of quick finishes she has a strong case to face the winner.
