Amanda “Amandinha” Lemos (7-1-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC)
Strawweight (115lbs): 1-0 (UFC)
Bantamweight (135lbs): 0-1 (UFC)
Amanda Lemos has had the majority of her professional mixed martial arts career in the bantamweight division. This includes Amanda’s fights under the Jungle Fight promotion and half of her career in the UFC so far. Unforuatnley, in her UFC debut fight at bantamweight in 2017, Lemos suffered the first defeat of her professional career when she was finished by standing elbows in the second round by Leslie Smith. Smith, a veteran had also fought at featherweight including a UFC Featherweight Title Shot, in her career and had a lot of size on the Brazillian. Amanda stands at 5’4″ and has a 65″ reach. Lemos is now 33 years old but in her last fight, following the loss, she made the move down to strawweight. The move paid off and Amanda took out Miranda Granger in the first round with rear-naked choke in December of last year. Amanda truly looked like she belonged in the weight class and will be making her sophomore appearance at 115lbs. at UFC Vegas 7.
