On Sunday, one of the premier Professional Eaters in the World Joey Chestnut was back in town to defend his chicken wing eating title, but on Sunday, one of the competitors had a different idea.

Miki Sudo took home the crown dowing 246 wings in just 12 minutes. She managed to outwing Chestnut by two wings as "Jaws" ended the competition downing 244 wings.

Sudo is the Major League Eating #1 ranked female and has won the Nathan's Hotdog eating competition every year from 2014 until 2020.
