UFC Fight Night 214 was headlined by a possible No. 1 contender’s showdown for the women's strawweight crown between Marina Rodriguez and Amanda Lemos on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Lemos entered the cage at an enviable 6-1 at 115 pounds—a run that included a close decision over Angela Hill and a finish of Michelle Waterson-Gomez, with the only blemish resulting in a submission loss to former champion Jessica Andrade. She has established herself as one of the most talented female fighters in the sport, with outstanding striking to go along with a highly skilled offensive Brazilian jiu-jitsu game.
