Helena Crevar Wins By Submission Via Calf Slicer At UFC Fight Pass Invitational 10

At UFC Fight Pass Invitational 10 on March 6, 2025, 18-year-old grappling sensation Helena Crevar secured a remarkable victory over seasoned Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Maggie Grindatti Lira, showcasing her evolving submission arsenal.

From the outset, Crevar demonstrated her tactical prowess by pulling Grindatti into her guard. She swiftly transitioned to her opponent’s back, setting up a calf slicer—a submission technique that applies pressure to the calf muscle and can be notoriously painful. As Grindatti attempted to defend, Crevar seamlessly threatened with a rear-naked choke, further complicating Grindatti’s defense and leading to a swift submission.

This victory adds to Crevar’s impressive grappling résumé. In December 2024, she earned her brown belt under the tutelage of renowned coach John Danaher, following significant achievements in tournaments such as ADCC, IBJJF, and Polaris events. Under the UFC Fight Pass Invitational banner, Crevar has now secured three wins, with two of those victories coming by way of submission.

Crevar’s performance at UFC Fight Pass Invitational 10 not only highlights her technical proficiency but also her ability to adapt and evolve in high-pressure situations. Her continued success positions her as a formidable competitor in the grappling world, with aspirations for future titles in the 145 or 155-pound divisions.
