With Lina Lansberg sidelined due to an undisclosed injury, Smith is now set to take on Octagon newcomer Amanda Lemos, the promotion announced on Thursday. Combate first reported the match-up.
Lemos signs with the UFC after racking up an undefeated 6-0-1 record in the Brazilian circuit, winning and defending the Jungle Fight bantamweight belt. “Amandinha" trains at UFC bantamweight Iuri Alcantara’s team in Brazil.
Smith (9-7-1) enters the fight coming off her third UFC victory, a unanimous decision against Irene Aldana in December. She bounced back from a loss to Cris Cyborg in a 140-pound catchweight bout.
