#1 Unified ranked strawweight Jessica Aguilar has won her first major title.
Aguilar gained the first ever World Series of Fight strawweight title with a submission win over Alida Gray in Hollywood, FL Friday.
Aguilar (17-4) was able to get the takedown early via a suplex, but Gray got back up to her feet. Aguilar got Gray down again, took half guard, and set up the head and arm triangle choke. Taking side control, Aguilar finished the choke and got the tap at 2:45 of round 1.
This was her first submission win in the past two years, and she snaps Gray’s four fight winning streak.

Five fights were on deck at an action packed Pink Fights in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
In the main event, flyweight standout Aline Sério (7-4) took a unanimous decision over Elaine Albuquerque Caverna.
In an early “Fight of the Year” contender, Amanda Torres (2-1) came back to get the armbar submission over Paula Baack in round 3.
The two strawweights were slugging it out tooth and nail early on in the first round, slowing the pace a bit in round 2. Baack started to open up with knees and head kicks in round 3, getting the knockdown on Torres. Torres tried for a leg lock, and was able to take guard. As Baack tried for ground and pound, Torres grabbed an arm and was able to get the belly down armbar for the tap at 4:32 of round 3.
