This might be the biggest grappling upset since Fedor Emelianenko was defeated by Bulgaria’s Blagoi Ivanov in the semifinals of the 2008 World Combat Sambo Championships in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Jiu-jitsu titan Gabi Garcia, widely considered one of the most dominant female grapplers in history — thanks in no small part to her 6’2”, 230-pound frame — was bounced from the FloGrappling WNO Championships last weekend in Austin, Texas, after getting out-grappled by PFL lightweight Amanda Leve.
“I always wanted that match with Gabi because I wanted to see how I could do against her,” Leve, 24, said after the match (her full interview here ). “I wanna start going towards MMA and I was using this as my last big jiu-jitsu tournament. Ending it like this was kind of like a ‘Hell Yeah!’ kind of deal.”
Leve (1-0) made her pro MMA debut last August, choking out Miranda Barber at PFL 8 in Atlantic City. Garcia, 35, holds a 6-0 (1 NC) record in MMA but has not competed since late 2018, where she finished Barbara Nepomuceno by way of keylock for RIZIN FF.

This match took place at Nippon Gaishi Hall, Nagoya Japan.
Gabi pummeled her opponent with heavy, iron-like hands until she lost balance and stumbled to the ground in the opening moments of the first round.
At 1 minute, 40 seconds in, Garcia pounded one punch after another as the Russian fighter seemed to have no idea what hit her.
At 4 minutes, 5 seconds, Gabi ratcheted up her strikes upon Anna’s face with hammer fists and hard-hitting jabs. The entire round was a dominant showing from the ‘She Hulk’.
Within 15 seconds of round two, Gabi went after Anna for the takedown and after getting the mount, she again mercilessly pounded her with massive punches before clamping on an armbar. By 2 minutes, 5 seconds in, Anna had tapped out and it was all over.
This time Gabi was up against American heavyweight, Destanie Yarbrough at Saitama Super Arena in Japan.
After a low kick from Destanie, Gabi threw left and right hooks toward Destanie in retaliation at 18 seconds into round one.
The fighters grappled at the side of the cage as Gabi attacked with powerful knees into Yarbrough’s core.
At 1 minute, 50 seconds in, Gabi hurled quick blows to Destanie’s face adding in a driving knee to the head. She continued the beatdown with a combination of hammer fists and jabs.
Gabi then put on the “Americana” submission (also known as the figure-four armlock, bent armlock, or hammer lock) forcing Destanie to tap at 2 minutes, 42 seconds of round one.
Barbara Nepomuceno, another Brazilian fighter, faced a grave challenge in Gabi Garcia for her debut match at the Saitama Super Arena in Japan.
Garcia bowed to the Japanese crowd as a token of respect before the match got underway. With huge, bulky biceps the ‘She Hulk’ had no doubt already rung alarm bells in the mind of her opponent!
At 27 seconds into round one, Garcia blasted her opponent with huge right and left hand punches as Barbara took guard, stumbling back to the side of the cage. The sheer size and tremendous power of Garcia was just too much for the inexperienced Barbara.
At 50 seconds into the round, Gabi made further inroads with another attack involving solid punches and concrete knees as Barbara tried to close in the distance and destabilize the ruthless radar of the ‘She Hulk’. Barbara threw a right hand hook which, though lethal, was nonetheless quickly overcome by Garcia’s watertight defense.
At 1 minute, 40 seconds, Garcia went for a takedown which she got with ease and squashed down upon Barbara’s face with brutal, sliding heavy elbows, along with loaded punches.
Gabi proceeded to put on a painful keylock submission move and at 2 minutes, 35 seconds, Barbara tapped out and the referee intervened.
This match saw Gabi up against Russian debutant, Veronika Futina at Cadillac Arena in Beijing, China.
In the early moments of round one, Futina threw a few punches but they missed their target by a whisker. Gabi fought back with left and right hooks as she drove Veronika toward the edge of the cage.
Futina soon regrouped going after Gabi with a couple of punches. For a moment or two, she appeared successful pushing her opponent back a little before Garcia’s trademark sheer might resurfaced.
At 1 minute, 30 seconds into round one, Gabi went in for the takedown accompanied by an audibly aggressive exertion of force. Gabi mounts Veronika and unleashes a rapid sequence of punches to her face. Though short-lived, Futina showed courage with a display of strength, keeping herself moving despite having a ‘She Hulk’ on her back!
However, it proved nigh on impossible for the Russian debutant to get away unscathed now. Gabi went for back control and got the rear naked choke cinched in, executing the choke to perfection. Veronika Futina had no choice but to tap out at 3 minutes and 49 seconds of round one.
Gabi’s debut match saw her lock horns with the “Queen of Rings” Lei’D Tapa from Tonga.
The heavyweights charged aggressively at the outset, each determined to taste first blood.
Tapa dropped a bombshell at 10 seconds in with a brutal left-hand jab that sent ‘She Hulk’ to the ground.
As expected, Gabi fought back courageously, getting back to her feet and wasting no time in closing the distance between her and her opponent until out of harm’s way.
Gabi collects her senses and fires off ruthless punches at 50 seconds into round one. Tapa fights back with a lightning-quick left hook whilst ‘She Hulk’ rains down another flurry of jabs and hooks which Tapa cleverly moves away from.
At this point, it was anyone’s guess as to who was owning the bout. But then the switch of a brutal assault by Gabi flicked on as she grounded her opponent with left and right hand jabs, and a backfist to boot.
The ‘She Hulk’ then mounted over the grounded Tapa, blitzing her face with unrelenting right-hand jabs knocking Tapa out at 2 minutes, 36 seconds at which point the referee intervened.
This match is ranked as the No.91 Best MMA Knockout of the Year, 2015.
