Gabriella Fernandes didn't let the oddsmakers weigh into her performance Saturday when she stunned the MMA world and submitted Wang Cong.

On the UFC Fight Night 248 main card, Fernandes (10-3 MMA, 2-2 UFC) submitted Cong (6-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) with a rear-naked choke at 3:49 of Round 2 as greater than a 6-to-1 favorite on average, according to Best Fight Odds. The event took place at Galaxy Arena in Macau, China.

The sequence started with a big left hand that dropped Cong. From there, Fernandes pounced onto the back and immediately sought a submission, which she quickly found.

With the win, Fernandes has won two fights in a row. Meanwhile, one of the UFC's most highly-touted female prospects, Cong takes her first MMA stumble.
