Amanda Lemos
Career overview
Amanda Lemos, a 37-year-old southpaw from Brazil, carries a 15-6-1 professional record defined by a balanced but defensively vulnerable fighting approach. Over her career, Lemos lands 2.75 strikes per minute at 55% accuracy while absorbing 3.01 per minute—a defensive disadvantage that has proven costly against elite opposition.
She averages 1.02 takedowns per 15 minutes with 64% accuracy and defends takedowns at 63%, complemented by a submission average of 0.7 per 15 minutes. Recent results underscore her inconsistency at the highest level: losses to Tatiana Suarez (unanimous decision, September 2025) and Gillian Robertson (unanimous decision, March 2026) sandwich a decision win over Iasmin Lucindo in March 2025, while earlier victories include a first-round knockout of Montserrat Conejo Ruiz and a submission finish of Michelle Waterson-Gomez.
A submission loss to Virna Jandiroba in July 2024 highlighted her vulnerability to strong grapplers. Lemos remains a dangerous finisher capable of early-round stoppages but struggles to maintain output and defense across full fights against top-ranked competition.
