In the UFC Long Island co-main event, the promotion’s #11 ranked strawweight, Amanda Lemos, caught the #10 ranked, Michelle Waterson-Gomez, with a guillotine in the second round. Although the referee missed the tap, Lemos let go of the hold, and Waterson-Gomez respectfully conceded the match. After losing her last match by way of standing arm triangle, Lemos earned some redemption by getting a sub of her own.
Not a lot happened in the opening round. Waterson-Gomez was determined to stay on the outside, and Lemos couldn’t deliver her power, but Michelle wasn’t able to connect with her own strikes either.
