The Scrap’s 2020 Regional Submission of the Year: Vanessa Demopoulos’ inverted triangle at LFA 85
In 2020, the regional women really brought the show. At LFA 95, a main event for the inaugural strawweight title took place that made history in more ways than one.
The Scrapโs Regional Submission of the Year 2020 award goes to Vanessa Demopoulos and her inverted triangle on Sam Hughes.

Honorable Mentions: Jose Perez vs. Jacob Dorman (CFFC 91), Jamie Gonzalez vs. Pat Sabatini (CFFC 91) and Craig Jones vs. Vinny Magalhรฃes (SUG 13).
As the fighters were on the ground against the fence in the fourth round, โLil Monsterโ locked in a deep reverse triangle on Hughes. โSampageโ fought hard to break free from the submission, but eventually went to sleep. Demopoulos won the technical submission victory that night along with the first-ever strawweight womenโs championship title.
The victory and impressive submission ended up earning her a Contender Series bout in August, and she later defended her title at LFA 94.
