Amanda Lemos vs. Iasmin Lucindo added to UFC 313
Top-ranked strawweights Amanda Lemos and Iasmin Lucindo will battle inside the octagon at UFC 313, which goes down March 8 in Las Vegas. Multiple people with knowledge of the situation confirmed the news to MMA Fighting following a report from Ag. Fight.
The UFC has yet to announce the match-up and a headlining attraction for the card at the T-Mobile Arena.
Lemos and Lucindo are ranked No. 6 and 7 in the MMA Fighting Global Rankings, respectively.
Lemos (14-4-1), who once challenged Zhang Weili for the 115-pound championship, is looking to get back on track after losing to Virna Jandiroba in July. Lemos won eight of 11 as a strawweight in the UFC, including victories over the likes of Mackenzie Dern, Marina Rodriguez, Angela Hill and Michelle Waterson-Gomez.
Lucindo (17-5) has looked great since dropping her debut fight in the UFC to Yazmin Jauregui, winning four in a row. The 22-year-old prospect won twice in 2024, earning decisions over Karolina Kowalkiewicz and Marina Rodriguez.
