Bia Mesquita stopped Macy Chiasson with a first-round rear-naked choke at UFC 334 on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden, extending her finish streak to four and positioning herself as a bantamweight title contender.
The 35-year-old submission specialist wasted no time, securing a takedown along the cage early in the opening round. Once on the mat, Mesquita unloaded elbows from top position that forced Chiasson to turn and surrender her back, per MMA Mania. Mesquita locked in the choke and squeezed until Chiasson tapped for just the second time in her career.

Mesquita's Path to a UFC Title Shot
Mesquita has now finished all four of her UFC appearances by submission without facing serious adversity. The world-class grappler sits near the top of the rising contender list at 135 pounds, and with uncertainty surrounding the careers of Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes, who also competed at UFC 334, a title shot could land on Mesquita's calendar sometime in 2027.
The Brazilian's camp has not yet commented on potential matchups or timelines for a championship opportunity.
