Amanda Mazza had an unusual moment in combat sports. Last Saturday (20), in Philadelphia (USA), the fighter faced Emily Hansen for 'Cage Fury FC BJJ' and, when trying to submit her with a rear naked choke, ended up injuring her own arm. As expected, the athlete did not hide her surprise at what happened.

The move occurred early in the fight. Mazza pressed Hansen's back for the submission. However, in her attempt to force her opponent to yield, Amanda ended up getting the worst of it. Hearing a pop, the fighters, even on the ground, stopped the fight.
