Amanda Lemos calls out Michelle Waterson after UFC 259 win: ‘She’s not as powerful as me’

Heavy-handed strawweight Amanda Lemos would like a ranked opponent after her first-round TKO win at UFC 259. Shortly after making quick work of Livia Souza in the preliminary section of the card, the Brazilian already knew who she wanted to fight next: former Invicta FC champion Michelle Waterson.

In an interview with Ag Fight, Amanda said she believes it is time for her to face a ranked opponent and the ‘Karate Hottie’ could be a good fit for her style. In fact, Lemos even feels like she could have an advantage in the striking department, because the Brazilian does not think Waterson packs as much power as herself.
