Which championship win was most significant?

Reflecting on a significant championship win, the match in question was a semi-final at PANS where the goal was to be as active and entertaining as Gary Tonon. The match was against Samela Shohamy, a familiar opponent. Throughout the match, there was a focus on hunting for submissions, leading to a series of attempts including an omoplata and a transition to a triangle choke.

During the triangle choke, while adjusting the position by pulling the shin in, a snap was heard and a sensation of cold heat rushed through the leg, indicating a serious injury. Despite the pain, the decision was made to continue and finish the submission. With the knee in agony and the realization that guard play would be nearly impossible, the triangle was locked in as tightly as possible. The effort paid off with a tap from the opponent.

After the victory, the injury's severity became apparent, with a memorable photograph capturing the moment of pain and relief. The referee, unaware of the injury, prompted a stand-up to declare the win, forcing reliance on the uninjured leg to raise the hand in victory before exiting the mat.
