Talita Alencar Finds the Choke Before Carnelossi Can Reach the Bell
Talita Alencar submitted Ariane Carnelossi at 4:36 of the third round at UFC Fight Night: Garcia vs Onama on November 1, 2025. The strawweight contest at UFC APEX in Las Vegas ended with a rear-naked choke after Alencar repeatedly created opportunities on the ground.
The second-round bell delays the submission
The opening round was competitive, but a right hand in the second interrupted Carnelossi’s advance and allowed Alencar to move into her grappling. She reached the back and attacked a deep choke, only for the round-ending horn to give Carnelossi a reprieve.
That escape did not solve the underlying problem. In the third, Alencar took Carnelossi down after a kick and worked through the positions again, returning to the back with enough time available to secure the submission.
The third-round takedown restores the opportunity
The finish came with twenty-four seconds remaining in the scheduled contest. Alencar therefore avoided the need for a judges’ decision after a demanding fight in which fatigue had begun to affect both athletes’ ability to sustain their work.
The victory gave Alencar consecutive wins and moved her UFC record to three victories from four appearances. Her overall MMA total became seven wins, one loss and one draw. The former jiu-jitsu world champion had converted a striking opening into positional control, then repeated the sequence after the earlier choke attempt was interrupted by the bell.
