In this preview of Amanda Lemos vs Iasmin Lucindo, we look at both fighters coming into this matchup from Vegas. Along with our keys to the fight, you will find our best bet for this bout, drawing on our many years of UFC betting experience to navigate the markets and determine where the value lies.

Amanda Lemos Looks to Get Back On Track

Amanda Lemos has lost two of her last three fights heading into her matchup with Iasmin Lucindo at UFC 313. The Brazilian lost her most recent outing by submission to Virna Jandiroba, who has moved up to third in the UFC women’s strawweight rankings herself. Here, Sportzino has Lemos as a slight underdog against Lucindo, as Lemos looks to get back into the win column and remain in the top-five in this division’s rankings.

For Lemos, the question in this fight is whether she can outstrike Lucindo. The age gap in this fight is certainly not in Lemos’ favor, but the experience edge is. If she can land something big early on and get Lucindo out of rhythm early on, she could do enough to grab this fight and signal to the world that she still has what it takes to compete at a high level.

Iasmin Lucindo Looks For Fifth Straight Win

For Iasmin Lucindo this fight is a huge one for her career. She has won four fights in a row and is well aware that a push into the UFC spotlight will happen as long as she keeps winning fights. Here, she will look for a fifth straight win, though she is facing arguably her biggest test in the UFC octagon in her still young career.

Lucindo won a split decision against Marina Rodriguez in her last fight, one that truly could have went either way. The Brazilian fights a similar style to that of Lemos, as both prefer to do their damage with their striking. But Lucindo did convert three takedown attempts against Rodriguez and that facet of her game can’t be overlooked either.
