ELMONT, N.Y. – Amanda Lemos rebounded from a main event loss in a big way on Saturday when she defeated perennial contender Michelle Waterson at UFC on ABC 3.
Lemos (12-2-1 MMA, 6-2 UFC) showed her defeat to Jessica Andrade earlier this year was just a mere bump in the road when she scored a second-round submission win over Waterson (18-10 MMA, 6-6 UFC) in a key strawweight division matchup at UBS Arena.
The Brazilian used her slick grappling to catch “The Karate Hottie” in a guillotine choke and forced the tap at the 1:48 mark of Round 2.
