Amanda Lemos Is Fighting For More Than Fame

With The Support Of Her Daughter, Amanda Lemos Is Prepared To Remind Everyone She Deserves To Be Treated As A Threat At UFC 313

Less than two years since her first UFC title opportunity, Amanda Lemos makes the walk to the Octagon at T-Mobile Arena. While the title is not on the line, there may be more at stake for the fifth-ranked women’s strawweight.

Although the 37-year-old Lemos did not capture gold at UFC 292, she has proved that she deserved to be amongst the best as she fought a full 25 minutes against Zhang Weili. Lemos followed that performance with a much-needed win overMackenzie Dern, but her momentum stopped there as she dropped her latest bout against Virna Jandiroba.
