Before Betting on Amanda Lemos vs. Mackenzie Dern UFC 298 Fight
Amanda Lemos is a well-rounded fighter who’s 13-3-1 overall. All three of her losses happened in the UFC, with two of them happening within the last two years.
In 2022, Jessica Andrade beat her by submission, while in Lemos’s last fight, she lost to Zhang Weili by unanimous decision in the UFC Women’s Strawweight title fight.
In the fight with Andrade, she got submitted in the first round with an arm triangle. In the fight with Weili, she suffered six takedowns. All this shows that wrestling and grappling aren’t Lemos’s strongest weapons.
This is something that Mackenzie Dern can take advantage of. She’s one of the best grapplers in WMMA, with a 3rd degree black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under her father Wellington “Megaton” Dias.
