A women’s strawweight fight between Livinha Souza and Amanda Lemos has been scheduled for upcoming pay-per-view event UFC 259. Combate was the first outlet to report the fight.
Souza made her UFC debut in 2018 after several years of competing under the Invicta FC banner. She would meet Alex Chambers at UFC Fight Night: Santos vs. Anders, where she earned a first-round stoppage by way of guillotine choke. Souza returned to the Octagon a few months later to take on Sarah Frota in a catchweight fight at UFC Fight Night: Assuncao vs. Moraes 2. She was declared the victor by split decision after three rounds of fighting.
