Things didn’t go her way in her first UFC main event, but the next time Amanda Lemos got a chance to headline, she didn’t disappoint. Lemos stunned Marina Rodriguez in the UFC Fight Night 214 headliner in November 2022 for a third-round TKO. Nine months later, she had a women’s strawweight title shot. In the third, Lemos let her hands go early and stunned Rodriguez with a punch. Noticing her opponent didn’t react naturally, Lemos closed the distance and emptied the tank with punches until referee Jason Herzog pulled her off. Rodriguez never fell to the ground, but her body language as she covered up against the fence indicated she was out of her senses
