Demopoulos scored a submission win in dramatic fashion before the end of the first round, and was nearly completely out of it just moments earlier.  Juarez threw a hard right overhand that landed squarely on Demopoulos’ jaw, sending her to the mat.  Juarez pounced and landed heavy punches directly on Lil Monster’s head.  “I woke up on the ground,” said Demopoulos in her post fight interview with Joe Rogan.  That’s when the jiu-jitsu beast stirring inside exploded out of her.  “I love jiu-jitsu, I do jiu-jitsu everyday” exclaimed Demopoulos, who quickly started hunting for the armbar.  “I was like oh my gosh I have an overhook, she's in my guard, this is amazing,” said Demopolous, who heard her coach yelling to grab Juarez’s left leg with her right hand and go for the sweep. She flipped Juarez onto her back, extended the arm, and forced Juarez to tap. Demopoulos’ excitement carried into the post-fight interview with Rogan.  “Yo, it’s Joe Rogan….I’m here with Joe Rogan!”  She was so jacked-up she even let Rogan carry her off.   > THAT'S how you make the most of your post fight interview 😂 > > \[ [@Monster\_Demo](https://twitter.com/monster_demo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) | [#UFC270](https://twitter.com/hashtag/UFC270?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) \] [pic.twitter.com/L94yFHLE0F](https://t.co/L94yFHLE0F) > > — UFC (@ufc) [January 23, 2022](https://twitter.com/ufc/status/1485051922168045569?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)  Demopoulos spoke to MILLIONS before the fight using the[**Personal Video**](https://millions.co/amas)  feature and she responded with this short[**ask me anything video**](http://millions.co/amas).   You can ask Demopoulos [**anything you want**](https://millions.co/vanessa-demopoulos-mma) and you can support her by buying her [**merchandise.**](https://millions.co/vanessa-demopoulos-mma) [![Lil Monster Men's T-Shirt](https://blog.millions.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202022-01-18%20at%203-48-04%20PM-png.png?width=213&name=Screen%20Shot%202022-01-18%20at%203-48-04%20PM-png.png)](https://millions.co/vanessa-demopoulos-mma/merch/tshirt-lil-monster-by-vanessa-demopoulos-men-s-t-shirt-male) [![Lil Monster Women's Hoodie](https://blog.millions.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202022-01-18%20at%203-48-42%20PM-png.png?width=212&name=Screen%20Shot%202022-01-18%20at%203-48-42%20PM-png.png)](https://millions.co/vanessa-demopoulos-mma/merch/hoodie-lil-monster-by-vanessa-demopoulos-women-s-hoodie-female) [![Lil Monster Hat](https://blog.millions.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202022-01-18%20at%203-49-03%20PM-png.png?width=213&name=Screen%20Shot%202022-01-18%20at%203-49-03%20PM-png.png)](https://millions.co/vanessa-demopoulos-mma/merch/hat-lil-monster-by-vanessa-demopoulos-hat) [![Lil Monster Mini Logo Men's T-Shirt](https://blog.millions.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202022-01-18%20at%203-49-43%20PM-png.png?width=212&name=Screen%20Shot%202022-01-18%20at%203-49-43%20PM-png.png)](https://millions.co/vanessa-demopoulos-mma/merch/tshirt-lil-monster-by-vanessa-demopoulos-men-s-t-shirt-mini-logo-male) [![SEE ALL VANESSA DEMOPOULOS MERCH](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/19508085/e0a9d9d2-0bf4-4c14-8f2b-0fd5a80874b0.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/19508085/e0a9d9d2-0bf4-4c14-8f2b-0fd5a80874b0) ## Comment ### TAGS [Ask Me Anything](https://blog.millions.co/tag/ask-me-anything) [Jiu-Jitsu](https://blog.millions.co/tag/jiu-jitsu) [MMA](https://blog.millions.co/tag/mma) [merchandise](https://blog.millions.co/tag/merchandise) [UFC](https://blog.millions.co/tag/ufc) [Personal Video](https://blog.millions.co/tag/personal-video) [Women in Sports](https://blog.millions.co/tag/women-in-sports) [Vanessa Demopoulos](https://blog.millions.co/tag/vanessa-demopoulos) [strawweight](https://blog.millions.co/tag/strawweight) ## Related articles ##### [Zoe Slaughter Shines as No. 24 Auburn Volleyball Triumphs Over Alabama](https://blog.millions.co/zoe-slaughter-shines-as-no.-24-auburn-volleyball-triumphs-over-alabama) October 30, 2023 In a thrilling match, No. 24 Auburn Volleyball (17-5, 7-4) continued their dominance against...
