Amanda Lemos is on a four-fight winning streak since cutting down to strawweight in the UFC and her team feels that the upper echelon of the 115-pound division is avoiding her.
With three first-round finishes under her belt in the UFC, capped off by back-to-back destructions of Livinha Souza and Montserrat Ruiz in 2021, Lemos worries that dominating every opponent she faces inside the octagon will lead to less fighters willing to face her going forward.
“If that’s the problem, then it’s going to be real bad because I’m in the octagon for quick finishes,” Lemos said in an interview with MMA Fighting.
