Video: After a month of incredible submissions, which was your favorite from April?

The month of April delivered a number of fight-finishing submissions in big fights, including a first in the UFC.

In the main event of UFC Fight Night 205, former strawweight champion Jessica Andrade made history against Amanda Lemos. The fight scheduled for 25 minutes lasted just a few seconds over three, ending with a finish for the record books as Andrade became the first fighter to tap an opponent with a standing arm triangle.

Historic moments are hard to ignore, but was there another submission this month that deserved the nod as the best of the month?

At 44 years old, Aleksei Oleinik is still finding ways to lock his opponents in tight squeezes. At UFC 273, the Russian locked in a neck crank on Jared Vanderaa to record his 47th career submission.

Claudio Puelles pulled off a beautiful kneebar submission on UFC Hall of Famer Clay Guida at UFC Fight Night 205, a hold that came seemingly out of nowhere during a slick transition.

Did either of these rank higher than Andrade’s finish for best of the month? Was there another one to consider as well?
