In early August, O’Connell captured the Washington Submission Series championship chain and $250 cash prize. She submitted both of her opponents in the absolute division. The championship match victory was particularly impressive as she submitted former UFC fighter Elizabeth Philips and was competing at a significant weight and experience disadvantage.

O’Connell followed up her Washington Submission Series victory by traveling to Des Moines, Iowa to compete in the absolute division of Sub Spectrum BJJ Summer Showdown. O’Connell once more won both of her matches by submission. She won both the $1,000 championship prize and also took home the $250 cash prize for fastest submission with a slick kimura finish.

Check out the video of O’Connell securing the kimura and fastest submission prize in the video below.
