1
- Lemos vs. Andrade
- Jéssica Andrade | Submission | Round 1
- 2022 | UFC Fight Night
-
Submission of the year, especially now seeing what Lemos has done since that fight. Not to mention it's the first of it's kind in the UFC regardless of the gender. The only reason the general consensus has this submission below number one is because she is a woman, and most MMA fans are misogynists.

- Esparza vs. Zhang
- Weili Zhang | Submission | Round 2
- 2022 | UFC 281
-
Zhang Weili is a monster, we knew this. What an amazing submission, super creative, and certainly one of the best of the year.
-
3
- Demopoulos vs. Juárez
- Vanessa Demopoulos | Submission | Round 1
- 2022 | UFC 270
-
I mean she got knocked down and submitted her, WOW!
-
4
- Blanchfield vs. McCann
- Erin Blanchfield | Submission | Round 1
- 2022 | UFC 281
-
Well, we knew Erin would destroy her. Erin was piecing her up on the feet, but when she got her to the ground, she exemplified why she is so dangerous and why so many see her as a future champion, plus first Kimura I believe for the women in the UFC (Not including TUF)

5
- Agapova vs. Robertson
- Gillian Robertson | Submission | Round 2
- 2022 | UFC Fight Night
-
One of the scariest submissions you will see in the UFC, one of the best of the year.
-
6
- McKenna vs. Granger
- Cory McKenna | Submission | Round 2
- 2022 | UFC Fight Night
-
I mean this was just Granger's fault, but either way first of it's kind for a woman.
-
7
- Botelho vs. Silva
- Karine Silva | Submission | Round 1
- 2022 | UFC Fight Night
-
I'm not gonna beat around the bush, Botelho isn't that good, but how Silva did it so easily was amazing to watch, knocked her down, into a takedown then easily got the D'Arce.

8
- Blanchfield vs. Aldrich
- Erin Blanchfield | Submission | Round 2
- 2022 | UFC Fight Night
-
Was tough getting to the submission, but a great learning experience for Erin, she needed to face the adversity to get better, and after her last performance we can say it worked! Also a very creative and opportunistic move.
-
9
- Waterson-Gomez vs. Lemos
- Amanda Lemos | Submission | Round 2
- 2022 | UFC on ABC 3
-
Just such a great submission she jumped and squeezed with all of her might.
-
10
- Moroz vs. Agapova
- Maryna Moroz | Submission | Round 2
- 2022 | UFC 272
-
Grudge match, great submission, especially with all that's happening in Ukraine.
-
11
- Clark vs. Stoliarenko
- Julija Stoliarenko | Submission | Round 1 | UFC 276
-
Literally ripped her arm off
-
12
- Bueno Silva vs. Egger
- Mayra Bueno Silva | Submission | Round 1 | UFC Fight Night
-
She armbar'd the lady who's a Judo specialist, impressive.
-
13
- Clark vs. Egger
- Stephanie Egger | Submission | Round 1 | UFC Fight Night
-
Slick submission
-
14
- Perez vs. Egger
- Stephanie Egger | Submission | Round 2 | UFC Fight Night
-
She shut her up, forever grateful.
-
15
- Mazo vs. Maverick
- Miranda Maverick | Submission | Round 2 | UFC Fight Night
-
Dominant performance, easy win.
-
16
- Wood vs. Grasso
- Alexa Grasso | Submission | Round 1 | UFC Fight Night
-
I mean, great performance from Grasso, but was against Wood, who has a knack of being submitted in the first round.
-
17
- Herrig vs. Kowalkiewicz II
- Karolina Kowalkiewicz | Sub | RD 2 | UFC Fight Night
-
Again, Herrig retired after the fact, but was a great way for Karolina to get back into the win column, and after what we saw against Gomez Juarez, seems to have turned a corner for Karolina, who I think is everyone is a big fan of.
