She successfully defended this title on August 18, 2012 against Sarah Kaufman . Again, she won with an arm lever in the first round.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (2012-2016)
She has been under contract with the UFC since the end of 2012.

She achieved all of her nine job wins with an arm lever ("armbar"), which is referred to as Juji Gatame in judo , and with which she was already very successful in her judo career. She also uses techniques known from Judo for the preparatory turning of the partner on his back and for loosening before stretching the partner's arm. In order to force her opponent into the ground beforehand, she often uses throwing techniques such as Harai Goshi , Uchi Mata or Ko Uchi Gari .
