Escalations to star in the UFC Las Vegas 94 this Saturday (20th), Amanda lemos e Virna jandiroba will face each other in a crucial duel in the strawweight division (up to 52,1kg.). Currently third and fifth in the ranking respectively, both fighters are enjoying a good moment in the organization and want to gain the opportunity to fight for the title if they triumph. Currently the belt is in the hands of Weili Zhang.
Victorious in her last appearance, Amanda states that she will seek a resounding victory at the beginning of the confrontation. Despite being scheduled to face his compatriot, Lemos leaves the friendly atmosphere aside and promises to try to win on the fast track. Known for the power in her hands, the fighter has eight knockout victories in her career. Unlike Virna, the athlete has already competed for a belt and ended up being beaten in the judges' decision.

Currently, the Bahian has six triumphs and three setbacks on her successful trajectory for the organization. Her last defeat came in 2021 when she faced Amanda ribas.
