Five months and three days after beating Mackenzie Dern, Amanda Lemos is supposed to fight another grappling specialist, Virna Jandiroba. The two Brazilian strawweights will clash in the main event of UFC Vegas 94 on July 20, 2024. Whoever wins this fight will take a giant leap toward a title shot. So, who will it be?
Before Betting on Amanda Lemos vs. Virna Jandiroba UFC Vegas 94 Fight
Amanda Lemos (14-3-1) has a clear path to victory, the key to which lies in her striking ability. With 8 KO/TKO wins, she has the power to end the fight standing. Her improved takedown defense, demonstrated in her win over Mackenzie Dern, will be crucial in the UFC Vegas 94 fight.
This is because her opponent Virna Jandiroba (20-3) is a grappling maestro with 13 submission wins in her portfolio. However, she’s been without a submission win for a relatively long time. In fact, the last time she won a fight this way was in 2020 against Felice Herrig.
Since then, she has experienced mixed results, losing to Mackenzie Dern and Amanda Ribas by decision, while securing unanimous decision wins over Angela Hill, Marina Rodriguez, and Loopy Godinez. She also defeated Kanako Murata in 2021, but it happened after the Japanese fighter suffered an arm injury.

The Lemos vs. Jandiroba odds favor Jandiroba, but we think bookies are wrong on this. Lemons is a much better striker than Jandiroba, who will probably try to take the fight to the ground.
However, we think Lemos has learned her lesson from the fight with Zhang Weilli, in which she got taken down six times. The evidence is that in her most recent fight, Lemos suffered just one TD to Mackenzie Dern, and we suspect something similar might happen on July 20.
Our prediction is that she’ll use her stand-up game to outpoint Jandiroba or, if an opportunity emerges, put her opponent to sleep with a KO.
