Loma Lookboonmee
Thailand
Taps quickly in Macau opener
Lookboonmee lost to Jaqueline Amorim via submission (Armbar) at 4:04 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Macau, China.
ANALYSIS
Coming off a unanimous decision defeat to Alexia Thainara in September, Lookboonmee simply couldn't afford another non-competitive performance such as this one. She got caught up in an exchange along the fence and eventually stuck in the armbar. To Lookboonmee's credit, she battled before eventually having to give up, but that will be of little solace. The 30-year-old had won four in a row and six of seven prior to this brief two-fight losing streak. She needs to find a victory her next time out by any means necessary.
