Rising UFC strawweight Amanda Lemos is calling out her division, but cannot find an opponent. Following her 35-second TKO win over Montserrat Ruiz in her last outing, the Brazilian has been having a hard time finding another woman willing to accept the challenge.
In an interview with Combate, Lemos explained that her heavy hands might be a reason why some athletes will not take her. Although she is on a four-fight winning streak, Amanda says some known strawweights directly refused to fight her, namely Tecia Torres and Yan Xiaonan. Nonetheless, the Brazilian has another name in mind who has not turned her down yet: Nina Nunes.
