Things didn’t go her way in her first UFC main event, but the next time Amanda Lemos got a chance to headline, she didn’t disappoint.
Lemos stunned Marina Rodriguez in the UFC Fight Night 214 headliner in November 2022 for a third-round TKO. Nine months later, she had a women’s strawweight title shot.
In the third, Lemos let her hands go early and stunned Rodriguez with a punch. Noticing her opponent didn’t react naturally, Lemos closed the distance and emptied the tank with punches until referee Jason Herzog pulled her off.
